Ingredients (Serves 3–4):
For the Shrimp:
500g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko or regular breadcrumbs
Oil for frying
Skewers (wooden or metal)
For the Tangy Lime Dip:
3 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
½ tsp lime zest
1 tsp honey
A pinch of chili flakes or hot sauce (optional)
Salt to taste
Instructions:
In a bowl, mix shrimp with garlic, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 15–20 minutes to infuse flavor. This step makes your honey garlic shrimp extra tender and flavorful.
Set up three shallow bowls one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each marinated shrimp in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs for that signature crispy shrimp coating.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry shrimp for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crunchy. Drain on paper towels to keep them crisp.
Thread fried shrimp onto skewers. Brush with a light honey-soy glaze for that irresistible sticky-sweet finish.
In a small bowl, mix mayo, yogurt, lime juice, zest, honey, and chili flakes. Adjust salt to taste. The result? A creamy, zesty dip that pairs perfectly with fried shrimp!
Arrange the skewers on a platter, drizzle a bit more honey garlic glaze, and serve with the tangy lime dip for the ultimate crispy shrimp appetizer experience.
Tips for the Best Honey Garlic Shrimp:
Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
Try air-frying at 400°F (200°C) for 6–8 minutes for a lighter version.
Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for presentation and flavor.
