Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat shrimp dry. Toss with minced garlic, salt, and pepper until coated.

  2. Step 2

    Lay one phyllo sheet on a cutting board. Cut into 4 equal squares. Wrap one shrimp in each square, tucking edges underneath to seal. Repeat with remaining phyllo and shrimp.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a heavy skillet to 350°F, or until a phyllo scrap sizzles immediately when dropped in, ~3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Fry wrapped shrimp in batches, 90 seconds per side, until phyllo is golden and crispy. Do not crowd the pan.

  5. Step 5

    Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce on the side, cilantro, and lime wedges.

Tools you’ll need

  • cutting board
  • paper towels
  • heavy skillet (12-inch minimum)
  • deep-fry thermometer or wooden spoon for oil test
  • slotted spoon or spider strainer
