Crispy Honey Shrimp Recipe

Clean and Season Shrimp

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. In a bowl, season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, tossing to coat evenly.

Prepare Breading

In a shallow dish, place the cornstarch. In another bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. Dip each shrimp first into the cornstarch, then into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.

Make the Honey Sauce

In a medium saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.

Heat Oil

In a large, deep skillet or pot, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry Shrimp

Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and drain them on paper towels.

Glaze with Honey Sauce

In a large mixing bowl, combine the fried shrimp and honey sauce. Toss gently to coat the shrimp evenly with the glaze.
