Method

  1. 1 Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, make incisions along the belly, and straighten them so they don't curl up when fried.
  2. 2 Pat dry thoroughly, then roll the dough successively through flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs.
  3. 3 Press gently to distribute the dough evenly, then let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the crust to set.
  4. 4 Deep fry at 175 degrees for 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. 5 Serve with shredded cabbage, tonkatsu sauce, and a slice of lime.
