Sesame Fried Prawns

Method

1. 1 Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, then make three incisions in the belly and gently press to straighten the shrimp.
2. 2 Toss with salt and pepper, then pat each one thoroughly dry.
3. 3 Mix yellow sesame seeds with black sesame seeds to create a coating with two distinct colors.
4. 4 Roll the dough in flour, dip it in egg, then roll it in sesame seeds and press to coat it completely.
5. 5 Fry in oil at only 160 degrees for 2 minutes and 30 seconds; sesame seeds burn very quickly at higher temperatures.
6. 6 Remove the sesame seeds and place them on absorbent paper as soon as they turn golden, then dip them in sweet chili sauce.
