Tiger prawns in panko breading
2 servings
15 minutes
Panko-breaded tiger shrimp is a delightful dish of Pan-Asian cuisine that combines a crispy texture with a tender seafood flavor. Panko, Japanese breadcrumbs, give the shrimp lightness and airiness, making the crust especially crunchy. Before frying, the shrimp are marinated in a mixture of sesame oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper, adding spiciness and aromatic depth to the flavor. Fried to a golden crust, they become an ideal appetizer that pairs wonderfully with rosé wine or spicy sauce. The simplicity of preparation and the sophistication of taste make this dish a perfect choice for a festive dinner or gastronomic enjoyment.
