In a food processor, process popcorn to a coarse powder; place in a shallow dish.
In another shallow dish, combine flour, ground red pepper, salt, and black pepper; mix well. In a third shallow dish, combine eggs and water; mix well.
Dredge shrimp in flour mixture and shake off excess. Dip shrimp into egg mixture then press into popcorn, turning to coat both sides.

Shrimp breaded in POPCORN? No way . . . I' use cracker meal or tempura (mixed with beer) instead - much more tasty

This is not any true popcorn shrimp I have ever had. I am sure any one who has ever gone to a resteraunt and ordered popcorn shrimp received shrimp the size of popcorn not shrimp that had popcorm as the breading.
