Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg and water together. Dip the shrimp into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated shrimp in batches, frying until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Combine with Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, toss the fried shrimp with the sweet red chili sauce until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate the shrimp and garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
