Ingredients

• 1 lb Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup White sesame seeds
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 2 Green onions (sliced thinly, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch, flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.

Step 3

In a third bowl, mix Panko breadcrumbs with sesame seeds.

Step 4

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Dredge each shrimp in the cornstarch mixture, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it in the Panko-sesame mixture. Press lightly to ensure the coating adheres well.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat (around 350°F).

Step 6

Fry the shrimp in small batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 7

To make the dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Stir until well blended.

Step 8

Serve the crispy sesame shrimp immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and alongside the dipping sauce. Enjoy!
