Peel your shrimp, remove the intestine and wash them under cold water. Drain them and roll them up with a cloth or paper towel to dry them. Here we used pre-cooked shrimp but we recommend fresh shrimp. It is much better, less salty and even more tender.
You must now give them a straight shape, for this, using a knife, make several incisions at an angle on the abdomen of the shrimp along its length. Be careful not to cut too deeply, you could cut the shrimp in half.
Apply pressure with your fingers along the entire length of the shrimp to break its curvature, and you will obtain a straight shrimp.
Once all the shrimp are shaped, take one and put it in the flour, egg yolks, and panko. Whether you use the flour, eggs or panko, use a spoon (different for each bowl) to coat the shrimp more easily.
If you want a thicker, crisp and tasty crumb, we recommend dipping your shrimp in the egg yolks and panko again.
Once your shrimp are ready, preheat your oil to medium temperature. We recommend that you add 20% sesame oil to the oil to make it even better. Then place your breaded shrimp on top and wait for them to turn golden brown (don't put too much on at once for faster cooking). Using long Japanese chopsticks, turn them over very regularly to control the cooking and not to have a too grilled side. Cooking with long chopsticks is very convenient and comfortable for stirring while avoiding oil splashes. Place them on paper towels and it's ready! Enjoy your meal!
