SESAME ORANGE SHRIMP

Using egg whites instead of whole eggs (or yolks) in the batter creates a crispier coating; cooking the shrimp in batches (so as not to crowd the pan) also helps. This versatile recipe is equally delicious when prepared with sliced chicken breast, pork loin, or steak.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large egg whites
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup sesame seeds
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more if needed
1 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, cornstarch, sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until frothy. Add shrimp, and toss to coat.
  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two or three batches, cook shrimp until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add more oil to skillet if necessary for remaining batches.
  • Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Boil over high heat until syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup, 4 to 5 minutes. Return shrimp to skillet; add scallions, and cook until heated through and coated with sauce, about 1 minute.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use large shrimp that are peeled and deveined. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • To make the breading extra crispy, double-coat the shrimp in the egg wash and breadcrumb mixture.
  • For a healthier version of this dish, bake the shrimp instead of frying them. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the shrimp for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the shrimp with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, teriyaki sauce, or a simple lemon wedge.

Conclusion:
