Units
Scale
- 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- For the sauce:
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- A pinch of paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp: In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Dip each shrimp first into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Fry the shrimp: Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, honey, mustard, and paprika. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- Serve: Arrange the crispy shrimp on a plate and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with parsley or additional herbs for extra flavor.
Notes
- For extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
- If you prefer, you can bake the shrimp at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes for a healthier version.
- Pair this dish with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
