Step by Step guide

Step 1

Thaw the frozen shrimp; if using fresh shrimp, leave them as they are. Remove the intestinal tract, but leave the tails if they are present. Marinate the shrimp in a mixture of sesame oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper. Let them marinate for ten minutes.

Step 2

Heat unrefined vegetable oil in a saucepan until it reaches a boiling point.

Step 3

In one bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs, and in another, lightly beat an egg. Dip the shrimp into the beaten egg one at a time, coat them in the panko breadcrumbs, and then add them to the hot oil.

Step 4

When the shrimp turn a nice light brown color in the oil, remove them, drain on a paper towel, and enjoy. They pair very well with rosé wine, by the way.
