4 Serves

Ingredients

16 raw Jumbo Shrimp

Salt and Sake

2 oz rice vermicelli

Vegetable oil for deep frying

All purpose flour for coating

2 egg

½ cup dried bread crumbs

 Lettuce leaves to serve

Lemon wedges to garnish

Method

Peel shrimp retaining tail shell and de vein. Make a few slits along inside curve to prevent curling during cooking. Sprinkle with salt and a little sake and set aside

Put vermicelli in a bag and crush into pieces. Heat oil in a wok or deep fryer to about 170 degree Celsius. Holding the tail to avoid coating the tail shell, dust a shrimp with flour, coat with egg white and then with breadcrumbs. Deep fry 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown, turning frequently. Drain on a wire rack. Repeat with another 7 of the shrimp

Dust the remaining 8 shrimp with flour, coat with egg white and then dredge in crushed vermicelli instead of breadcrumbs.  Reduce the oil temperature to 160 degree Celsius.  This lower temperature helps retain the whiteness of vermicelli. Deep fry the shrimp on a bed of lettuce leaves on each of 4 individual plates, garnish with lemon wedges and serve
