Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces medium-size shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons condensed milk
1 tablespoon crushed pineapple, drained of juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, optional

Steps:

  • Wash clean the shrimp, drain and pat dry with paper towels and put in a bowl.

  • Heat the oil to 400 degrees.
  • Beat the egg yolk and add to the shrimp, mixing thoroughly to coat. Pour off any excess egg yolk. Now, add the cornstarch to the shrimp and mix.
  • Fry the shrimp in the oil for about 3 minutes, or until they turn golden yellow.
  • Remove the shrimp and drain on paper towels.
  • Mix the shrimp with the mayonnaise sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds on top, if desired, and serve immediately.
