Servings: 32 shrimp
Calories: 69kcal
Ingredients
- 32 shrimp large, peeled and cleaned
- 1 1/2 Cups Panko bread crumbs
- 3 Tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 Eggs beaten
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 Cup vegetable oil more if needed
Instructions
- Clean and de vein shrimp, if using ones with the shells on. Pat dry and set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the bread crumbs, sesame seeds, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the two eggs.
- Toss all the shrimp into the beaten eggs. Take them out by the tail and dip them in the bread crumb mixture. Press firmly to be sure to coat well. Repeat for all shrimp and place on a clean plate.
- Add the vegetable oil to a large heavy bottomed skillet set over high heat. After the oil is up to temperature after about 3 - 5 minutes, add one shrimp to see if it is sizzles. If it's smoking reduce heat a little. Shrimp will sizzle when ready to cook. Cook each side for about 1 1/2 minutes. Then flip and cook other side for 1 1/2 minutes. Shrimp will be golden and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat for any remaining shrimp and add extra oil if needed.
- Best served immediately with your favourite dipping sauces.
