Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk egg in one bowl. Mix flour in a second bowl, panko in a third.

  3. Step 3

    Coat each shrimp in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently so crumbs stick.

  4. Step 4

    Heat 2 inches of neutral oil in a heavy skillet to 350°F. Oil should shimmer steadily.

  5. Step 5

    Fry shrimp in batches 90 seconds per side until golden and crispy. Don't crowd the pan.

  6. Step 6

    Stir wasabi into mayo. Serve shrimp alongside sliced radish and wasabi mayo for dipping.
