firecracker shrimp

Firecracker shrimp is a dish that lives up to its name. It's bursting with explosive flavors and a delightfully meaty bite that's perfect for parties.

Firecracker Shrimp

olive oil,

fresh garlic, minced

fresh ginger, minced

soy sauce

honey

sriracha sauce (or

shrimp

all-purpose flour

cornstarch

salt

black pepper

green onions, thinly sliced for garnish

sesame seeds for garnish, optional

In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey, and sriracha until well blended.

Add the shrimp, stir until evenly coated, then cover and marinade in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Then, dredge (coat) each shrimp on both sides in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When hot, add the shrimp in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are golden brown and crispy.

Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving platter, sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using), serve, and enjoy!

Thai Shrimp in a Blanket or Goong Hom Pha is an easy appetizer of whole shrimp wrapped in spring roll wrappers and deep fried until crispy.

Shrimp in a Blanket Recipe

Jumbo Shrimp (Peeled, De-veined, and tail left on)

Spring Roll Wrappers ((small size))

Salt and White Pepper to Taste

Tablespoon All Purpose flour

Water

Sweet Chili Sauce (For Dipping)

Remove the package of spring roll wrappers from the freezer and allow to thaw on the counter for 30 minutes.

Once the wrappers are thawed, separate each layer and keep them covered with a clean kitchen towel. Otherwise, they will dry out. If the wrappers feel too dry, use a slightly damp towel.

In a small bowl, mix flour and water until combined. You want the consistency of glue.

Peel and De-vein the shrimp, but keep the tail on. With a small knife make small incisions on the underside of the shrimp to have it lay flat. Do not cut all the way through the shrimp.

Pat dry the shrimp to remove any moisture. Season lightly with salt and ground white pepper.

Place one wrapper on a work surface and have it in a diamond shape. Then fold over a third of the right side to make a straight edge.

Place the shrimp in the middle with the shrimp tail on the outside of the wrapper edge. Then bring up the bottom, tuck it under the shrimp, fold over the left side, and roll up to the top. It should be nice and tight, if it feels loose, re-roll it again.

Dip your finger in the &#39;glue&#39; (flour and water mixture), and add it to the top of the wrapper to seal the shrimp in a blanket. Continue wrapping all the shrimp.

At this point the shrimp in a blanket can be stored in a zip top bag and frozen to be cooked at a later time. Otherwise, if cooking now, heat oil in a heavy pot or fryer.

Once oil is 350 degrees F, place a few of the shrimp in a blanket in the oil. Do not overcrowd the pot. It will only take a minute or two to cook. Once the outside is slightly golden they are ready.

Use tongs to remove the shrimp from the oil and allow to cool on a paper towel lined plate.

Serve Warm with some sweet chili dipping sauce
