Japanese Style Deep Fried Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Place the shrimp in a bowl and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. In a small bowl, stir together the flour and paprika. Place eggs and panko crumbs into separate bowls.
• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and finally into the panko crumbs to coat. Fry a few at a time until golden brown. This should take no longer than 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels before serving.

Steps:

• Cook the rice the day before, spread on a sheet pan, and refrigerate overnight.
• Separate the rice grains by gently rubbing with the palms of your hands, then chop rice coarsely, this is the domyoji.
• Make 3 cuts across inner curve of shrimp, 1/2-inch apart. (This prevents shrimp from curling when cooked.) Coat the shrimp in flour and shake off any excess.
• Dip shrimp into the egg whites and then into the coarse rice. (Be sure that the rice adheres firmly.)
• In a wok, heat oil over moderate heat to 350 degrees F. Deep-fry shrimp until golden. Drain well on absorbent paper and place on a sheet pan-well spread out-into a preheated 450 degree F oven for 3 to 4 minutes to finish cooking process. Serve immediately.
• Add green peppers to the wok and fry until tender. Remove and drain well.
• To serve, arrange 4 shrimp on green pepper strips on a preheated plate and sprinkle with ajishio seasoning, garnish with a lemon slice, and serve with sweet and sour sauce.

Steps:

• Put the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the mushrooms and onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they're soft and brown in places, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the soaked kombu reserved from the dashi if desired and the rice; stir to combine. Add the dashi, soy sauce and mirin. Stir, adjust the heat so it bubbles gently, and cover. Cook until the rice is almost fully tender, about 15 minutes.
• When you remove the cover, the mixture should still be a little soupy (add a little dashi or water if it's dried out). Stir in the shrimp and peas, then raise the heat a bit and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, the shrimp cooked and the mixture is still moist but not soupy, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if desired and serve.
• Combine the kelp and 8 cups water in a large pot over medium heat. Do not allow the mixture to come to a boil; as soon as it is about to, turn off the heat, add the bonito flakes and stir. Remove the kelp and reserve it to add to the rice if desired. Let sit for a couple of minutes, then strain. Use the dashi immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Remove the shell from the shrimp, but leave the tail intact. Devein with a deep cut, but no not sever the two halves of the shrimp. Mix the sherry with a pinch or two of salt and toss with the shrimp. Put aside while batter is being prepared.
• Mix the Wondra, baking powder, and salt together and add the peanut oil slowly while beating to mix thoroughly. When the dough forms a lump, add the water, a little at a time until the batter is the consistency of light cream. Heat the oil for deep frying in a wok to 360-370*. Place the shrimp on a paper towel.
• Take a shrimp by the tail and coat with batter-not the tail, please. Drop the shrimp into the hot oil. Repeat with all the shrimp, removing them to drain as they become golden brown and puffy. Serve at once, or place in a warm (about 150*) oven to keep warm.
