Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large egg whites
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup sesame seeds
coarse salt and pepper
1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more if needed
1 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, cornstarch, sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until frothy. Add shrimp, and toss to coat.
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two or three batches, cook shrimp until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add more oil to skillet if necessary for remaining batches.
  • Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Boil over high heat until syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Return shrimp to skillet; add scallions, and cook until heated through and coated with sauce, about 1 minute.
