CRUNCHY FRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a medium bowl until frothy. Mix flour, salt and pepper in another medium bowl. Dredge shrimp in flour, shake off excess. Dip shrimp into eggs, then press shrimp into Panko; turn shrimp over and press into Panko again to coat both sides.
• Pour enough oil into heavy large pot to reach depth of 2 inches; heat to 350 degrees F. Working in batches, add shrimp to hot oil; deep-fry until cooked through, about 1 minute. Using tongs transfer shrimp to paper towels to drain. Arrange shrimp on platter. If desired, serve with Kikkoman Tonkatsu Sauce for dipping.

CRISPY MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH INDIAN SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place the ginger, chilies and cilantro in a food processor and process them until everything is finely minced, scraping down the bowl as needed.
• Put the mixture into a small work bowl and add the shrimp; mix and stir well until the shrimp are well-coated.
• Add the turmeric and mix, making sure the shrimp are again well-coated.
• Cover or wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 3 hours.
• When ready to cook, remove the shrimp from the refrigerator, mix in the salt, and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
• Put about 1/3 of the Cream of Rice (use a little if not enough to coat all the shrimp) in a medium-sized plastic bag (do not use all the Cream of Rice at once or the marinade on the shrimp will make it too moist to coat the shrimp evenly).
• Pour enough oil into a small, deep saucepan to cover 6 of the shrimp completely at one time and begin to heat the oil until hot enough to fry the shrimp.
• While the oil is heating, put 6 shrimp into the plastic bag, close the bag, and toss to coat evenly with the Cream of Rice.
• Place the shrimp on a slotted spoon and ease them into the hot oil; they should sizzle immediately.
• Turn after 1 minute and fry for another minute, or until evenly golden.
• Remove the shrimp to paper towels to absorb any excess oil, and repeat the process with another 1/4 cup Cream of Rice and 6 shrimp.
• Repeat the process one more time with the last 6 shrimp, then serve, garnished with lemon wedges.
