Main Ingredients- 1 bag pre-cleaned shrimp (approx. 200-300g)
- 1/2 bag panko breadcrumbs (approx. 100g)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (approx. 50g)
Chili Sauce- 3 pinches salt
- 3 Tbsp chili powder
- 3 Tbsp ketchup
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 3 pinches salt
- 3 Tbsp chili powder
- 3 Tbsp ketchup
- 3 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the shrimp thoroughly and pat them dry. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Prepare three separate dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge the dried shrimp in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip them into the beaten egg, ensuring they are fully coated. Finally, roll the shrimp in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the crumbs adhere. This ensures a crispy coating when fried.
Step 2
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add the breaded shrimp and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the fried shrimp and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While the shrimp are frying, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the chili powder, ketchup, sugar, water, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Pour the prepared chili sauce over the fried shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Alternatively, you can arrange the shrimp on a serving platter and drizzle the sauce on top. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 3
Your delicious Chili Shrimp is ready to be enjoyed! For an enhanced flavor, consider adding minced garlic or finely chopped onions to the sauce while it simmers. Serve immediately while warm for the best crispy texture and taste.
