Crispy Shrimp



This is the kids' favorite shrimps..very easy to make & taste delicious too, especially when cooked with a very fresh shrimp. I like to eat the shrimp dipped in the japanese style spicy mayo. I got the idea of the spicy mayo after having sushi in the restaurant, where they served them with the spicy mayo. Curious, I asked the waitress about it, and she said it's only a mixture of japanese mayonnaise and sriracha chili sauce. Now, the dipping sauce becomes the family favorite.

Ingredients:

1 lb big size shrimp, remove shells, cleaned and leave tails intact.
pinch of salt & pepper

for the coating:
75 gr cornstarch (approx.)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 egg white, whipped
100 gr panko (coarse bread crumbs)

spicy mayo: mix together:
Japanese mayo
sriracha chili sauce



Directions:


1. Sprinkle the salt & pepper over shrimp, toss, and leave to marinade for 1/2 hour.
2. Mix together corn starch, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
3. Toss the shrimp to the corn starch mixture, make sure they are evenly coated.
4. Dip the shrimp into the egg white.
5. Roll the shrimp into the bread crumb, press with fingers as you go along, to make sure the bread crumbs stick to the shrimp.
6. Leave shrimp for around 2 hours (you can keep them in the fridge)
7. Heat deep fryer at 350F, and fry the shrimp until they turn golden brown.
8. Serve with spicy mayo or ketchup and finely sliced cabbage.
