FIRECRACKER SHRIMP
Ingredients:
1 pound frozen jumbo shrimp, pre-cooked and thawed
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup natural honey
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chili paste
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 green onion, snipped
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions:
Combine cornstarch, cornmeal, sea salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Place beaten eggs in a separate shallow dish. Coat shrimp in dry breading, one at a time. Dredge coated shrimp into beaten eggs, covering both sides. Heat vegetable oil in an iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add coated shrimp to pan; do not crowd. Cook until golden brown, approximately 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all shrimp is pan-fried. To make glaze, combine natural honey, orange juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, chili paste, and ground ginger. Bring to a boil. Reduce to Simmer for 2 minutes until thickened, stirring often. Drizzle honey mixture over pan-fried shrimp or use as a dipping sauce. Garnish with green onion snips and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
A favorite!
