Main Ingredients- 60 frozen peeled shrimp (thawed naturally)

- Generous amount of sunflower oil (or cooking oil)
- Pinch of black pepper
- Generous amount of sunflower oil (or cooking oil)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the frozen peeled shrimp. Let them thaw naturally at room temperature before skewering. Rapid thawing can affect the shrimp’s texture.
Step 2
Gently pat the thawed shrimp dry with paper towels. Thread 5 shrimp onto each wooden skewer or toothpick, arranging them neatly with the tails aligned. If the shrimp are already seasoned, sprinkle just a little black pepper onto the skewers for a light seasoning.
Step 3
In a wide bowl, crack 3-4 eggs and beat them well with a fork or whisk until smooth. If using pancake mix, you likely won’t need extra seasoning. If using flour, you can add a pinch of salt or a dash of cooking wine.
Step 4
Dip the skewered shrimp into the flour (or pancake mix), ensuring an even coating on all sides. A thin layer of flour is best. Gently shake off any excess flour.
Step 5
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of sunflower oil. Dip the flour-coated shrimp skewers into the beaten egg, coating them thoroughly. Carefully place the egg-coated skewers onto the heated pan. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 6
Cook over medium-low heat, flipping occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and crispy. The shrimp are fully cooked when their tails turn a distinct bright red color. Adjust heat as needed.
Step 7
This recipe is a favorite in my household because my children, who are usually picky, absolutely love these shrimp skewers! They are a fantastic alternative to other pancakes. Making these delightful shrimp skewers is a wonderful way to impress guests or enjoy a special treat with drinks.
