🍽️ Crispy Fried Shrimp

589 kcal · 30 min · 4 servings

Ingredients

• 8 raw, medium-sized shrimp (with shell, headless, 30 g each)
• salt
• pepper (from the mill)
• 100 g glass noodles
• 2 egg whites
• 500 ml vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. 1. Peel the shrimp but leave the tail fins on. Make a lengthwise cut on the top and remove the vein. Make a small cut on the belly too so they stay straight when frying. Season them with salt and pepper afterwards.
2. 2. Cut the glass noodles into 1 cm long pieces with scissors and put them in a bowl. Whisk the egg whites. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok. (It is hot enough when bubbles start to rise on a wooden spoon handle you hold in the oil).
3. 3. Dip the shrimp with a fork into the egg whites first, let the excess drip off, then coat them in the glass noodle pieces. Fry them in the oil for about 2 minutes until golden yellow. Pat them dry on kitchen paper and serve immediately.
