Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place the fried shrimps in a large serving bowl. Pour the warmed honey over the shrimps, ensuring all shrimps are lightly coated with honey.
- 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!
