Shrimp and Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Dip each shrimp into the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Toss with Sauce

    In a large bowl, toss the fried shrimp with your choice of Bang Bang Sauce or Tropical Rum Sauce until well coated.
