Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start rice in a pot with 2 cups water. Bring to boil, then cover and simmer 15 minutes until tender.

  2. Step 2

    Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Set up three shallow bowls: flour, beaten egg, and panko mixed with a pinch of salt.

  3. Step 3

    Coat each shrimp in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently so breadcrumbs adhere.

  4. Step 4

    Heat 0.5 cup neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  5. Step 5

    Fry shrimp in batches 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel.

  6. Step 6

    Warm frozen vegetables in the residual pan heat, 2 minutes. Serve shrimp over rice with vegetables and lemon.

Tools you’ll need

  • large skillet (12-inch)
