This Butterfly Shrimp recipe showcases shrimps paired with a sweet & sour sauce, making it a delicious dish for your dining experience, especially during celebrations like the mid-autumn festival.
1: Butterfly the shrimp & score it.
2: Use a paper towel to remove any excess water.
3: Whisk egg with corn starch slurry to make a wet batter.
4: Brush egg batter onto the shrimp.
5: Cut bacon into small pieces (length of the shrimp) and place a slice of bacon on top of the shrimp. Make sure the bacon is tightly pressed into the shrimp.
6: (Optional) Deep fry vermicelli noodles for plating.
7: Coat the butterfly shrimp in the egg batter and pan fry with bacon facing down.
8: Flip it over when bacon is cooked & crispy.
9: (Optional) Use a pot of water or grill press to press down the butterfly shrimp, so it cooks evenly and straighter (because shrimp tends to curl up).
10: Set it aside on top of a bed of fried vermicelli noodles.
11: Mix the bowl of sauce and heat it up in a pan.
12: Serve & enjoy!
