Steps
- 01
Thaw frozen shrimp in the refrigerator. Peel, devein, and slit deeply along each back without cutting all the way through; open flat. Pat thoroughly dry.
- 02
Season both sides of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Beat the two eggs in a bowl and spread the flour on a separate plate.
- 03
Dust each shrimp lightly with flour, shake off excess, and coat both sides with beaten egg.
- 04
Warm oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Lay shrimp in a single layer; turn after one side begins to turn golden. Continue until the shrimp flesh is pearly and opaque throughout and the egg coating is fully set; larger shrimp need longer.
- 05
Combine 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp vinegar, 1 Tbsp chopped scallion and 1 tsp sesame seeds. Serve the cooked shrimp on a clean plate with the dipping sauce.
Before you cook
Contains shrimp, egg, wheat, soy and sesame. Thaw shrimp refrigerated; keep raw-seafood tools separate from cooked food. Cook until shrimp is opaque and egg is fully set. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and reheat thoroughly.
