Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, one with panko mixed with a pinch of salt.

  3. Step 3

    Coat each shrimp in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, then roll in panko until fully coated.

  4. Step 4

    Heat neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Fry shrimp in batches 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy; don't crowd the pan.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot shrimp alongside warm rice, cabbage, pickled radish, tartar sauce, and lemon wedge.
