This dish combines the succulent taste of shrimp with the rich sweetness of honey, perfectly balanced by a crispy, seasoned coating.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 egg
50g
1 tbsp canola oil
16g
1/2 cup corn flour
72g
32 oz shrimps
910g
1/3 cup honey
80g
1 tbsp sesame seeds
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dry Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
2. Create the Batter:
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the canola oil to the beaten egg and whisk until well combined.
- Gradually add the egg mixture to the bowl with the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth batter forms.
3. Coat the Shrimps:
- Place the corn flour in a shallow dish.
- Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll it in the corn flour. Shake off any excess corn flour.
4. Fry the Shrimps:
- Heat enough oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat to deep-fry the shrimps.
- Once the oil is hot (about 350°F or 175°C), carefully add the coated shrimps in batches. Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimps from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Prepare the Honey Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, gently warm the honey over low heat until it becomes more fluid and easy to drizzle. Do not overheat or boil the honey.
6. Combine Shrimps with Honey:
- Place the fried shrimps in a large serving bowl. Pour the warmed honey over the shrimps, ensuring all shrimps are lightly coated with honey.
7. Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the honey-coated shrimps for added flavor and texture.
- Serve immediately while the shrimps are still warm and crispy.

Tips:

- Ensure the shrimp is thoroughly cleaned and deveined before cooking for the best taste and texture.

- Pat dry the shrimp before dusting with flour to ensure a crisp coating.

- Use fresh ingredients where possible to enhance the flavors of the dish.

- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp as it can become tough and chewy. Shrimp usually cooks fully in just a few minutes.

- Toast the sesame seeds slightly before garnishing to intensify their nutty flavor.

There you have it – a delectable honey shrimp dish that is both easy to make and delightful to eat. By following these steps and tips, you can create a meal that is sure to impress your family and friends. Enjoy the perfect blend of sweetness and crispiness in every bite!
