Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Shrimp
In a medium bowl, season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and panko breadcrumbs in the third.
Bread the Shrimp
Dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat in the panko breadcrumbs. Ensure each shrimp is well-coated.
Heat Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the fried shrimp to a serving platter, drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
