Time 15m

Yield Serves 4, as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 egg
1 cup flour
2 cups panko
1/2 pound rock shrimp
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
Vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the salt, egg and 1 cup ice water. Sift the flour into the bowl and whisk until smooth. Fill another wide bowl with panko. Dredge the rock shrimp a few pieces at a time in batter, then panko. Set on a plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp and asparagus.
  • Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep, heavy pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot enough to toast a panko crumb in 30 seconds, add the shrimp, a few pieces at a time. Fry until golden brown on all sides, less than two minutes, then remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and asparagus. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon or ponzu (recipe below).
