Preparation:

Step 1
• Place the popcorn, breadcrumbs, cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a couple of pinches of black pepper in a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  
  In a medium bowl, combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a couple of grinds of black pepper; set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs; set aside. In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the cayenne pepper, half the lemon zest, and a pinch of salt; set aside.
Step 2
• In a large, deep frying pan or heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 2 inches of oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 180°C (350°F).
  
  Working in batches, coat each shrimp in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour, then dip the shrimp in the eggs, letting any excess drip off. Roll in the popcorn mixture.
  
  Fry the shrimp until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove and transfer to a serving dish using a slotted spoon.
Step 3
• Mix the mayonnaise with the remaining lemon zest and juice. Drizzle the shrimp with melted butter just before serving. Serve the breaded shrimp with the mayonnaise mixture.
