instructions
    1

    Start by preparing the shrimp. Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

    2

    In a bowl, season the flour with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

    3

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten. Set aside.

    4

    In another bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs. This will be the coating for the shrimp.

    5

    Coat each shrimp in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.

    6

    Dip the shrimp into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.

    7

    Finally, roll the shrimp in the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.

    8

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (356°F). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a few breadcrumbs into it; if they sizzle and float, it's ready.

    9

    Carefully place the shrimp in the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown.

    10

    Once cooked, remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

    11

    Serve the Ebi no Furai with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.

How to be creative
  • Try adding a spicy aioli as a dipping sauce for an extra kick.
  • Substitute the shrimp with other seafood like scallops or fish fillets for variety.
  • Experiment with different seasonings in the flour mixture, such as garlic powder or paprika, for added flavor.
Important Tips
  • Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying to achieve that crispy texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy shrimp.
  • Pat the shrimp dry well before breading to ensure the coating adheres properly.
