Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon water + 1 teaspoon cornstarch (for slurry)
  • Green onions and sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up a dredging station with one bowl of flour and cornstarch mixed together, one bowl of beaten eggs, and a plate for dredged shrimp.
  3. Dip shrimp in flour mixture, then egg, then again in flour mixture. Set aside.
  4. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry shrimp in batches until golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until sauce thickens, about 1–2 minutes.
  7. Toss fried shrimp in the honey sauce until well coated.
  8. Serve shrimp over rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Ensure oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy shrimp.
  • You can use tempura batter as an alternative for an extra crispy coating.
  • The sauce can be doubled if you prefer it extra saucy.
  • Use jasmine or brown rice as a base depending on your preference.
