Wok-Tossed, Twice-Cooked, Crispy Salt and Pepper Prawns: Fu Xian StyleSummary
Description I make this dish all the time with soft shell crabs, but it is equally good with shrimp. For the crab version, I skip the salt rub and simply cut my crabs in half before dipping in the egg white.
The sauce recipe came to me from my pal Vikram, who uses it all the time on all manners of fried seafood in his house in Ingredients
InstructionsPeel and butterfly shrimp, leaving tail attached. Toss with salt and let sit for 15 minutes. Press in a dry towel to remove moisture.
Heat peanut oil to 375 over high heat in a wok. Dip shrimp in egg whites, then dredge in corn starch. Fry to crisp in 2 batches. Tip off the oil, leaving 2 T. behind, and increase the heat. When smoking, add the scallions, chiles, and shrimp. Toss to coat, adding the salt, pepper, and sugar as you rotate the food across the wok surface. For the sauce, merely combine all the ingredients. Toss and serve with the sauce. |

I love these "out of the norm" recipes. This particular dish does not seem to be that difficult. I like the variation as well. Thank you for the time it took to provide this for us.
It is time for us to see what these online casino are all about and if they are better than the other poker gambling sites.
