– 400g of large shrimp
– 2 eggs
– 200g of panko breadcrumbs
– 1 tablespoon of crispy batter
– Seasonings: MSG, monosodium glutamate, salt, pepper, and cooking oil
# How to Make Crispy Fried Shrimp:
## Step 1: Prepare and Marinate the Shrimp:
Buy large shrimp, rinse them, and peel off the shell, leaving the tail and head intact for a more appealing presentation. To remove the vein, cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail, and use a skewer to remove the black thread-like intestine. Rinse the shrimp in salted water to neutralize any fishy odor and enhance the crispiness of the meat.
Season the shrimp with 1 teaspoon of MSG, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, a pinch of pepper, half a teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of chili powder. Mix well to ensure the shrimp absorbs the flavors.
## Step 2: Prepare the Batter:
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Place the crispy batter and panko breadcrumbs in two separate dishes.
Coat each shrimp with the crispy batter, then dip it in the egg, and finally, generously cover it with the panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy texture.
## Step 3: Fry the Shrimp:
Heat oil in a pan over low heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the shrimp. After adding all the shrimp, adjust the heat to medium.
Deep-fry the shrimp until the batter hardens, then flip them over to ensure even cooking. The shrimp is ready when it turns a golden-brown color, resembling the shade of a cockroach (a Vietnamese color description). Remove the shrimp from the oil and drain the excess oil on a wire rack.
## Step 4: Serve and Enjoy:
The fried shrimp should have a beautiful golden-brown color and a crispy exterior. The combination of the crunchy coating and the juicy, tender shrimp meat creates a delightful texture. This dish is best served hot to truly appreciate its deliciousness.
