Ebi fry

Method

1. 1 Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, remove the black vein, and make four or five light incisions on the underside.
2. 2 Bend the shrimp back to break the vein; this is a trick to keep the shrimp straight when frying.
3. 3 Roll the shrimp in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the batter adheres firmly.
4. 4 Fry in oil at 175 degrees for 2 and a half minutes; shrimp cooks very quickly, so don't leave them in for too long.
5. 5 Tilt the rack to drain excess oil, then serve with shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.
