Crispy Rock Shrimp Recipe

Crispy Rock Shrimp Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Curtido

   In a bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and lime juice. Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes to pickle slightly.

2. 2

   Prepare the Cholula Mayo

   In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise and Cholula hot sauce. Mix well and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Shrimp

   In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs.

4. 4

   Coat the Shrimp

   Dredge the rock shrimp in the flour mixture, then dip them into the beaten eggs, and back into the flour mixture to ensure a crispy coating.

5. 5

   Fry the Shrimp

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Char the Pineapple

   While the shrimp is frying, grill or char the pineapple until caramelized. Cut into small pieces.

7. 7

   Assemble the Dish

   On a plate, place a portion of crispy rock shrimp, top with charred pineapple, sliced avocado, and a generous drizzle of Cholula mayo. Serve with curtido on the side.
