Orange almond shrimp is a classic dish that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of orange sauce with the crunch of almonds and the tender texture of shrimp. This popular dish is a staple of Chinese-American cuisine and is often served as an appetizer or main course. There are many variations of this dish, but they all share the common ingredients of shrimp, orange sauce, and almonds. The shrimp is typically stir-fried until cooked through and then added to a sweet and tangy orange sauce. The almonds are usually toasted and added to the dish at the end for a crunchy texture. This dish is often served with rice or noodles.

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.

Steps:
- For the sauce: Put the orange juice, ginger, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, crushed red pepper, vinegar, sesame oil, salt and garlic in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and whisk thoroughly to incorporate the cornstarch into the liquid. If you have a few lumps remaining, that is fine. Heat until bubbling and starting to thicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- For the crispy shrimp: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
- Add the flour, salt and pepper to a shallow dish. Crack the eggs into a second shallow dish and beat well. Place the panko in a third dish. Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating.
- Fry the shrimp in 2 batches, flipping halfway through, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Before serving, add the sauce to the bottom of a bowl. Add the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Serve over rice and garnish with the sliced scallions.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan combine the reserved shrimp shells, the vermouth, the orange juice, and the zest and simmer the mixture, covered, for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into another small saucepan, discarding the shells. In a non-stick skillet melt 1 piece of the butter, over moderately high heat, in it sauté the shrimp, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until they are cooked through, and keep them warm, covered.
- Bring the orange mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to moderately low, and whisk in the remaining 5 pieces butter, 1 piece at a time, lifting the skillet from the heat occasionally to cool the mixture and adding each new piece of butter before the previous one has melted completely. (The sauce should not get hot enough to liquefy. It should be the consistency of hollandaise.) Stir in the chives, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste, divide the shrimp between 2 plates, and spoon some of the sauce over each serving.
