   • Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, and devein them.
   • Place the prepared shrimp in a large shallow bowl.

2. Marination:

   • In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, French dressing, lemon juice, and onion powder.

   • Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

3. Frying:

   • Heat vegetable oil in a dutch oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it reaches a depth of about 2 inches.

   • Carefully place a few coated shrimp into the hot oil at a time.
   • Fry the shrimp until they turn golden brown, which should take approximately 2-3 minutes per batch.
   • Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried shrimp from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.

6. Serving:
