Fireworks Shrimp Recipes

FIRECRACKER SHRIMP

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Add enough peanut oil to a countertop deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot so that there is 3-inches worth of oil. Preheat to 360 F.
• Combine the honey, sriracha, ginger, fish sauce, and lemon juice in a large, wide mixing bowl .
• Put the shrimp and potato starch into a gallon zip-close freezer bag and seal. Gently shake and turn the bag to thoroughly coat the shrimp in the potato starch.
• In two batches (most likely, depending on the size of your setup), fry the shrimp until they turn pink, and the starch coating becomes crisp and golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Remove the shrimp and shake off the excess oil.
• Toss the hot, fried shrimp in the sauce. Garnish with the sesame seeds, sliced scallions, chile pepper, cilantro, and a sprinkle of the Szechuan pepper, if using.
• Serve with rice and perhaps a steamed vegetable . Enjoy!
