Crispy Sesame Panko Shrimp
Ingredients:
24 - 30 shrimp
½ cup all purpose flour
2 eggs lightly beaten
½ cup Panko {Japanese seasoned breadcrumbs}
¼ cup sesame seeds
¼ tsp garlic salt
freshly ground pepper
vegetable oil as needed, 4 - 6 tablespoon
lime, to squeeze over {optional}
Directions:
Prepare the shrimp: remove the tails and devein if necessary, rinse, and gently pat dry with a paper towel.
Prepare in three separate shallow bowls the flour, the eggs, and combine the panko, sesame seeds, garlic salt, and pepper.
First, coat the shrimp in flour. Tap gently to remove excess.
Dredge in the egg, then in the panko/sesame seeds/garlic salt. Place on a plate until ready to fry.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Working in 2-3 batches, fry shrimp for 1 - 2 minutes per side, until shrimp is golden brown as shown in the photos. Set on a paper towel until ready to serve.
Best if served immediately, and with a squeeze of lime.
Enjoy your meal!
