Crunchy Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a medium bowl until frothy. Mix flour, salt and pepper in another medium bowl. Dredge shrimp in flour, shake off excess. Dip shrimp into eggs, then press shrimp into Panko; turn shrimp over and press into Panko again to coat both sides.
• Pour enough oil into heavy large pot to reach depth of 2 inches; heat to 350 degrees F. Working in batches, add shrimp to hot oil; deep-fry until cooked through, about 1 minute. Using tongs transfer shrimp to paper towels to drain. Arrange shrimp on platter. If desired, serve with Kikkoman Tonkatsu Sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, egg whites, water and oil together with a whisk.
• Pour out a liberal amount of cornflake crumbs on a dinner plate.
• Roll each shrimp well into batter mixture and quickly roll in cornflake crumbs.
• Deep fry shrimp about 7 at a time till golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Serve with cocktail and/or tartar sauce.

Steps:

• Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
• Add the shrimp to a medium bowl. Cover with cold water and let sit until thawed, about 10 minutes.
• Drain the thawed shrimp on paper towels and pat dry.
• Place the cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss until well-coated.
• Heat the oil in a wok or large pan until it reaches 400°F (200°C).
• Add the garlic and fry for 40 seconds-1 minute, until golden brown. Remove the garlic with a strainer or slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Fry the shrimp, about 6 at a time, for 2 minutes, or until light golden brown. Transfer to the wire rack to drain.

• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then transfer to a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs and soda water until combined. Add the cake flour and gently whisk, making sure the batter is still clumpy. Do not overmix.
• Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 350˚F (180˚C).
• Add the panko bread crumbs to a shallow bowl.
• Using a slotted spoon, dip the shrimp in the tempura batter, then toss in the panko, making sure to fully coat.
• Fry the shrimp in the hot oil, 5-6 at a time, until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
• Make the glaze: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
• Add the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the mixture begins to simmer.
• In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch. Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir to combine. Cook until the glaze is reduced by half and looks thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the shrimp to a large bowl and pour the glaze over. Toss the shrimp gently to coat with the glaze.
• Serve the shrimp over rice and garnish with scallions.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Remove the shells from the shrimp but leave the last segment and the tails on.
• Split the shrimp down the back until almost completely open.
• Remove the vein.
• Place the shrimp in a bowl of ice water.
• Combine the dry ingredients for the batter.
• Mix well, then add the oil a little at a time until oil and flour are thoroughly mixed; break up any large lumps.
• Now add the water a little at a time, stirring contantly in one direction.
• Eventually the batter will become smooth and silky.
• Stop adding water when you attain this consistency of a thin pancake batter.
• Allow the batter to rest, covered, for atleast 15 minutes.
• Prepare either or both sauces to serve with your shrimp.
• Shred the lettuce and place on a platter.
• Cover with plastic wrap until ready to use.
• Place the oil in a wok and heat to 375F.
• While the oil is heating, drain the shrimp, pat dry and dip in the batter, leaving the tail exposed for easy handling.
• Line a work platter with paper toweling.
• Place 8-10 shrimp in the hot oil and cook until the batter turns a golden brown.
• Remove with large strainer to the work platter.
• Do the remaining shrimp in the same manner, making sure the oil reaches 375F before adding next batch.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the lettuce and nest the shrimp in the lettuce.
• Serve with the sauce (s).

Steps:

• For the sauce: Put the orange juice, ginger, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, crushed red pepper, vinegar, sesame oil, salt and garlic in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and whisk thoroughly to incorporate the cornstarch into the liquid. If you have a few lumps remaining, that is fine. Heat until bubbling and starting to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the crispy shrimp: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Add the flour, salt and pepper to a shallow dish. Crack the eggs into a second shallow dish and beat well. Place the panko in a third dish. Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating.
• Fry the shrimp in 2 batches, flipping halfway through, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Before serving, add the sauce to the bottom of a bowl. Add the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Serve over rice and garnish with the sliced scallions.

Steps:

• Grate 1 teaspoon zest from lemon, then cut in half. Place both halves and 4 cups water in a saucepan; bring to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Add shrimp; return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain; let cool 15 minutes. Peel and cut into a 1/4-inch dice (about 1 1/2 cups).
• Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°F. Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and lemon zest. Whisk seltzer and egg into dry ingredients. (Batter should have the consistency of thick honey. If too thick, add more seltzer; if too thin, add 1 tablespoon rice flour.) Stir in shrimp.
• Working in batches, and using two tablespoons (one to scoop, one to scrape), drop batter in oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to keep oil between 340° and 350°. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet; sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately with tartar sauce and lemon wedges and zest.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Place the first 7 ingredients in a greased 15x10x1-in. pan. Finely grate zest from lime. Cut lime crosswise in half; squeeze juice. Add zest and juice to shrimp mixture; toss to coat., In a small bowl, combine crushed chips, cilantro and oil; sprinkle over shrimp mixture. Bake until shrimp turn pink, 12-15 minutes. Top with tomatoes and avocado. If desired, serve with additional lime wedges and cilantro.

Steps:

• Combine the cilantro, garlic, chile, 2 tablespoons oil, ginger, lime juice, turmeric, garam masala, cumin, coriander, cayenne and 2 teaspoons salt in a blender. Purée, using a wooden spoon or the blender wand to help combine ingredients if necessary. Scrape the puréed mixture into a bowl. Add the shrimp and use your hands or a spatula to evenly combine. Marinate for up to 1 hour in the refrigerator, if possible, or proceed immediately to Step 2.
• Dredge the shrimp: Pour the farina onto a lipped plate or into a large shallow bowl and season with two generous pinches of salt; toss to combine. Let the marinade cling to the shrimp, then dredge the shrimp in the farina, patting the farina onto each shrimp to adhere, and carefully shaking off any excess crumbs. Place the dredged shrimp on a parchment- or foil-lined sheet pan.
• Heat ¼ cup of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Working in 2 or 3 batches, depending on the size of your pan and the size of your shrimp, lay the shrimp in the pan in one layer and fry without disturbing until the shrimp are deeply golden brown on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes. Gently flip with tongs or a spatula and fry until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. (If any large shards of coating come off the shrimp, remove them from the oil, and serve with the shrimp.) Wipe the skillet clean of crumbs with a paper towel and add more oil to the pan as necessary to maintain the amount, and repeat the pan-frying process with the remaining shrimp. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
