what you'll need:

» bamboo skewers » black tiger shrimp » salt » cornstarch » medium eggs » all-purpose flour » panko breadcrumbs » cooking oil

Tartar sauce:

» yellow onion » hard boiled egg » Japanese mayonnaise » lemon juice » sugar » salt and pepper » parsley

Make tartar sauce

Finely dice boiled eggs and yellow onion, then add to a mixing bowl with the rest of the tartar sauce ingredients. Mix thoroughly and store in the fridge until time to serve.

1

Clean the shrimp

Deshell and devein the shrimp, leaving the tail intact. Sprinkle with salt and cornstarch and rub it over the surface. 

2

Wash

Wash the shrimp in a bowl of fresh water and drain. Pat the surface dry with kitchen paper.

3

Cut

Cut the tails diagonally and make diagonal incisions along the belly of the shrimp. Each cut should go about half way through.

4

Optional step

Push bamboo skewers through the shrimp to keep them straight during cooking. (Soak the skewers in water or coat with oil to make them easier to remove later.)

5

Coat with flour

Roll the shrimp in flour and brush off the excess.

6

Coat with egg

Next, roll in whisked egg.

7

Coat with panko

Generously coat in panko. For an extra crunchy result, coat with additional layers of egg and panko.

8

Fry

Heat oil to 190°C (374°F) and fry the shrimp until golden. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking.

9

Drain

Transfer to a wire rack to drain off the excess oil and cool for a few minutes. Carefully twist and pull the skewers to remove.

Serve

Serve with homemade tartar sauce and enjoy!
