# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Shrimp Prep
01 -
120 g cornstarch
02 -
450 g big shrimp, peeled and cleaned
03 -
1 egg white
→ Coconut Mix
04 -
60 ml mayo
05 -
120 ml coconut cream
06 -
120 ml sweetened condensed milk
→ Extras
07 -
2 green onions, sliced thin for topping
08 -
Vegetable oil for frying
# Detailed Preparation Steps:
01 -
Dry the shrimp well after rinsing. Beat the egg white until foamy then toss shrimp in it so they're all covered.
02 -
Put the cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Roll each shrimp in it and shake off the extra so they'll fry up nice and even.
03 -
Heat up the oil in a deep pan on medium-high. Drop a bit of batter in to check if it pops. Cook shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side till they've got a golden crunch. Let them drain on some paper towels.
04 -
Warm coconut cream, sweetened condensed milk, and mayo together in a small pot on low heat. Stir it slow until the sauce thickens a bit. Don’t let it boil.
05 -
Toss the fried shrimp gently in the warm sauce. Sprinkle green onions on top. Serve it up right away with jasmine rice or noodles.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
Make sure shrimp is totally dry before coating to get a good crunch.
02 -
You can tweak the sauce sweetness by using more or less sweetened condensed milk.
03 -
Serve right after mixing with sauce to keep shrimp crispy.
