Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk the egg with 2 tablespoons of water until uniform in colour.
2. Add 40 grams of all-purpose flour and whisk until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest while you prepare the shrimp.
3. Clean the 400 grams of shrimp, seasoning them with ½ teaspoon baking soda and ¼ teaspoon salt.
4. Preheat a heavy-bottomed pot with two inches of vegetable oil to 340°F (170°C). Line a cooling rack with 3 sheets of paper towels. Spread 2 cups of panko on a tray.
5. Dip each shrimp in the batter and let the excess drip off.
6. Lay the shrimp on the panko, cover the tops with more panko and press lightly so it sticks. Repeat with the rest.
7. Fry without overcrowding until golden brown, flipping partway through for even colour. This took about three minutes for the creator's shrimp; time may vary with size.
8. Drain on the prepared rack and let cool for one minute before serving.
