Crispy Shrimp

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickled Fennel

    In a bowl, combine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Add sliced fennel and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Buoy Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic. Heat over medium heat until bubbling. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, whisk together cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg. Dip each shrimp in the egg, then coat with the cornstarch mixture followed by panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the crispy shrimp and drizzle with the sweet and spicy buoy sauce. Serve with pickled fennel on the side.
