Extra Crispy Honey Garlic Shrimp

Street Food Day 9: Crispy Honey Garlic Shrimp

Welcome to Day 9 of Cooking Street Food for 21 days! Today I am making Extra Cripsy Honey Garlic Shrimp. Funny story, I was initially going to make Walnut Shrimp, but the supermarket was sold out on walnuts, and I couldn’t find any condensed milk. I almost gave up on filming yesterday, but I thought I would do something fun in the kitchen, and I am proud to say this is probably my best shrimp recipe

This dish is super finger-licking good! Since creating this recipe, I have made it three more times since because it is THAT GOOD

Garlic Shrimp Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb Prawns or Shrimp devein and peeled with the tail on
  • 8 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 cups Tempura Mix Powder
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 1 cup Cold Sparkling Water ice cold
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 4 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp grated Ginger
  • 1 tsp Sesame Seeds

Cleaning and Preparing Shrimp

Random question, does anyone else not like pre-peeled shrimp? It is never as fresh, so I always get it with the shell on and peel it myself. I find that the meat is a lot of juicy, and meat feels fresher. 

Prepare the shrimp for this recipe by first making a shallow cut along the back of each shrimp to expose the dark vein. Use the tip of a knife or a toothpick to gently lift it out. Then, rinse the shrimp under cold water to wash away any grit. Before cooking, make sure to dry the shrimp for extra crispiness.

If you don’t want to fry your shrimp, you can also do this in an air fryer to pan fry with the honey garlic sauce afterward!

How To Make Crispy Garlic Shrimp

  1. Mix tempura batter and ice-cold sparkling water. This will help the batter be crispy and light when it is fried. Add in the shrimp and make sure that every piece of shrimp is coated in the batter. 
  2. Fry the shrimp in medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan and fry the shrimp in batches. Once shrimp is golden brown, set aside. 
  3. In a pan, add in butter, soy sauce, honey, and ginger. Turn the heat on to medium-high and slowly mix for 1-2 minutes. 
  4. Next, add in minced garlic, and let it simmer on high heat while mixing for 30 seconds. 
  5. Add in the shrimp and make sure every single piece of shrimp is coated in the sauce. 
  6. Finish off with sesame seeds.

ENJOY!!
