Deep fried babies

I made this recipe a couple weeks ago, when I was overly lazy. :-D I made it for Brandon cause all things fried tastes good to him and he loves shrimp, so I thought it would be easy to make him deep fried shrimp using Japanese Panko because the panko doesn't overpower the shrimps flavor like breadcrumbs seem to. Plus, panko really gives fried foods that extra crunch.

DEEP FRIED PANKO SHRIMP

3/4 C panko

1/2 C flour

2 eggs, beaten

oil for deep frying

Combine some pepper and salt with the flour. Drench raw shrimp into flour and shake off excess, then dunk into egg mixture then into panko and cover generously with panko.

Once all the shrimp had been pankoed, heat up the oil in a pot and drop a couple shrimps in at a time and flip them over to brown the other side also. I just waited till the crust was golden brown before I took it out to drain on paper towels. I had to turn down the heat to prevent the oil from overbrowning the rest of the batches.

The shrimp goes really well when you dip it in a sweet chilli sauce.

SUSHIFIED

My sushi cravings have been much satisfied tonight.

I wonder why it took so long to fan the rice when we were younger and mom wanted us to help make sushi. Perhaps to keep us occupied...for 3 hours! lol

Sushi filled with cucumber and carrot slices and immitation crab and avocado plus dabs of wasabi. Emm...delicious.
