In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, three tablespoons of water, a pinch of salt, and several grinds of black pepper.
In a separate bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Italian breadcrumbs, Shawhan Farms Parmesan Seasoning, a large pinch of salt, and several grinds of black pepper.
Prep the Asparagus
Fill a cast iron skillet with enough canola oil to fill it just shy of halfway.
Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).Add the chilled asparagus in batches and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Place the cooked asparagus on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and immediately sprinkle with salt.
Continue frying the remaining asparagus. To keep the cooked asparagus warm, place them on a rack set over a baking sheet in a 200°F (90°C) oven while you fry the rest.
Serve
Plate the crispy Parmesan asparagus and serve with the creamy Parmesan dipping sauce. Enjoy!
