Breaded Panko Shrimp

What is it?

Butterflied shrimp coated in Japanese-style panko breadcrumbs come packed in a 2.5-pound box, usually with about 40 to 50 pieces depending on size. Each shrimp is split and fanned out before breading, which gives the coating more surface area than a standard round-cut breaded shrimp. At Costco’s Kirkland Signature, these are frozen after baking, so reheating is the last step. An oven or air fryer works best at high heat, and the panko coating is meant to stay light and crisp. Inside, the shrimp are peeled and deveined, with a firm bite once heated. Ingredients include shrimp, wheat, milk, and soy.
