Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Peanut oil ( for frying )
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon ginger root (grated)
1 dash fish sauce
1/2 lemon (juiced)
1 1/2 pounds (26 to 30 count) white shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tail removed)
1/2 cup potato starch
Garnish: sesame seeds
Garnish: scallions (sliced on a bias)
Garnish: 1 red Thai chile pepper (sliced)
Garnish: fresh cilantro (torn)
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns (ground)
Serving suggestion: rice and steamed vegetable

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!
