From Everyday Food. Putting it here for safekeeping. Prep time does not include cleaning and devaining shrimp. Ingredients:
2 large egg whites |
1/4 cup cornstarch |
1/4 cup sesame seeds |
coarse salt and pepper |
1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined |
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more if needed |
1 cup fresh orange juice |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon sugar |
4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, cornstarch, sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until frothy. Add shrimp, and toss to coat.
2. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two or three batches, cook shrimp until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
3. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add more oil to skillet if necessary for remaining batches.
4. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Boil over high heat until syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup, 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Return shrimp to skillet; add scallions, and cook until heated through and coated with sauce, about 1 minute.
