- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.75 cup Cornstarch
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Orange juice, freshly squeezed

- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch (for sauce)
- 2 tbsp Water (for cornstarch slurry)

Directions
Step 1
Prepare the shrimp by patting them dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with cornstarch, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Dredge each shrimp in cornstarch, dip into the beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs. Place breaded shrimp on a plate and repeat for all pieces.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Fry the shrimp in batches, about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan. Drain cooked shrimp on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 6
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, orange juice, pineapple juice, and soy sauce. Stir until well combined and bring to a simmer.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
Step 8
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir constantly. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 9
In a large mixing bowl, toss the fried shrimp with the honey pineapple orange sauce until evenly coated.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
