This crispy sesame shrimp would be perfect served as a holiday party appetizer or for dinner. It tastes just like tempura, but without the deep frying.

Number Of Ingredients 9

24-30 shrimp
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs lightly beaten
1/2 cup Panko
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 tsp garlic salt
freshly ground pepper
vegetable oil as needed (4-6 tbsp)
lime (to squeeze over {optional})

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Serve immediately with tempura dipping sauce, sweet chili sauce, or your favorite sauce.
