Instructions

Butterfly shrimp and season

Butterfly the white shrimp by cutting along the back and removing the gut. Then mix with egg yolk, salt, white pepper and rice wine.

⏱ 5 min

Prepare dressing

Combine Japanese mayonnaise, wasabi paste, lemon juice and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.

⏱ 2 min

Coat shrimp

Coat the shrimp evenly with cornstarch and tap off excess powder.

⏱ 3 min

Fry shrimp

Heat the oil to 170-180°C over medium-low heat. Deep fry the shrimp for about 30 seconds until golden brown and cooked through.

⏱ 5 min🌡 175°C

💡 Oil temperature is critical - use a thermometer if possible. If oil is too hot, shrimp will burn before cooking through; if too low, they will absorb excess oil.

Mix with dressing

Transfer the fried shrimp to the mixing bowl with the dressing and toss well to coat. Serve immediately.

💡 Toss gently but thoroughly to avoid breaking the crispy coating. Serve right away while shrimp are hot and crunchy.
