In a small bowl, mix panko and remaining seasoning mix together.
You should have 3 bowls: seasoned shrimp with flour, beaten eggs, and seasoned Panko.
Dip each shrimp in the egg mixture then in Panko. Set aside (this gives the breading time to stick).

Cook for 8 minutes, flipping after 4 minutes. Spray the basket and shrimp when flipping.
Repeat until all shrimp is cooked.
