Panko Shrimp
- 1 pound shrimp
- 2 cups bread crumbs japanese
- 1 cup flour, all-purpose
- 2 large eggs
- 1 x vegetable oil for frying
- 1 each lemon
- 1 x soy sauce, tamari for dipping
- Peel and devein shrimp, but leave tails attached.
- Wash well in salted water until water runs clear.
- This will be 5 or 6 changes of water.
- Dry on paper towels.
- Beat eggs in a bowl.
- Pour flour and panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) onto separate pieces of waxed paper.
- Holding a shrimp by the tail, roll it in the flour, egg and panko.
- Place on cookie sheet.
- Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- This may be done several hours in advance, but keep them in the refrigerator.
- Heat oil in a pan to 350F (180C).
- Deep-fry shrimp until they turn light golden brown.
- You may need to do this in several batches, because if you crowd out the pan, they will not brown properly.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Cut lemon in half lengthwise, cut each half in half.
- You will have 8 long wedges.
- Serve with soy sauce to dip and lemon on side.
- You can squeeze the lemon either on the shrimp or in the soy sauce or both.
- Note:The Japanese eat a lot of foods at room temperature and fried food coated with panko stays crisp for several hours, hence it is good picnic food.
- This dish is served as an appetizer course in a Japanese meal but would also make a good hors d'oeuvre at a Western-style party.
