Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 1 tsp salt (5g)
- 1/3 cup corn flour (50g)
- 1 tsp black pepper (2g)
- 20 oz shrimps, peeled and deveined (570g)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (60g)
- 1 cup mixed greens (or salad mix) (70g)
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of lime zest.
- Mix well until the zest is evenly distributed throughout the mayonnaise.
- Cover and refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 cup of corn flour, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Add the shrimps to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoned flour mixture.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the coated shrimps in a single layer.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimps are golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
- Remove cooked shrimps and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- On each serving plate, arrange a bed of mixed greens.
- Place a portion of the cooked shrimps on top of the greens.
- Serve with a generous dollop of the lime mayonnaise on the side.
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly pat dry the shrimps before coating them in corn flour; this helps achieve a crispy texture.
- For a more intense lime flavor, you can add a few drops of fresh lime juice to the mayonnaise.
- Adjust the amount of black pepper according to your spice preference for a milder or spicier taste.
- To save time, you can use pre-peeled and deveined shrimps.
- Serve immediately after cooking to retain the crispiness of the shrimps.
