Ingredients
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1.5 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more if needed
  • 1 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, cornstarch, sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until frothy. Add shrimp, and toss to coat.
  2. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two or three batches, cook shrimp until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  4. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Boil over high heat until syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup, 4 to 5 minutes.
  5. Return shrimp to skillet; add scallions, and cook until heated through and coated with sauce, about 1 minute.

Very tasty!


Yum!


Sounds marvelous!. I love shrimp.


I made this today and I'm sorry to say it was a bit disappointing. The sauce wasn't "orangey" enough. Maybe using Sesame Oil (instead of Vegetable Oil) and adding some orange zest would give a better flavor. It was definitely fast and easy and I served it over rice. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
