60 count shrimp are called salad shrimp, tiny shrimp or ex small. I can't imagine how small a 61-90 count shrimp would be, if you could ever find them. And then there only use would be for bait paste. To fry such a teenie weenie shimp would be pointless as all you would have left is batter. This must be a mis-print?

These shrimp are so good! However, the recipe is missing an ingredient - I did an internet search and found out the amount of breadcrumbs should be 1 cup. It's also missing the second teaspoon of black pepper (should be 2 teaspoons total).

These were excellent! I had to substitue dry italian bread crumbs for the wheat flour as that is what I had on hand. Next time I think I'm going to try some fresh recipe #167729 with some added italian seasoning. Though, I'm sure these are fabulous as written. I cannot say I've had these from Applebee's, so I'm not sure how close this recipe is to the restaurant. Either way, I'll make them at home and save some dollars! Thanks for posting, we'll make again. Update 11-14-2009: The photo I posted used the flour mixture for a first coating, then coated with the beaten eggs (and I added some louisana hot sauce), then coated with the Homemade Panko Bread Crumbs with Italian seasoning plus all other seasonings listed, then deep fried.
