SPICY FRIED SHRIMP RECIPES

Steps:

• Puree red onion in a blender or food processor.
• Season shrimp with about 1/2 of the turmeric and salt.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, the remaining turmeric, and water. Season with salt; simmer until water evaporates, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Heat oil and butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add pureed onions, jalapenos, ginger-garlic paste, cayenne pepper, coriander, cumin, and black pepper. Cook and stir until golden brown, about 7 minutes.
• Combine cinnamon stick, poppy seeds, coconut milk powder, cardamom, cloves, star anise, nutmeg, oregano, and rosemary in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until masala is aromatic, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Pour masala into the onion-jalapeno mixture; cook, covered, over medium heat until flavors blend, about 7 minutes. Add shrimp, lime juice, vinegar, soy sauce, and red food coloring; cook and stir until flavors are absorbed, about 5 minutes more.

Steps:

• Rinse shrimp, pat dry, and set aside to drain on paper towels.
• Combine cornstarch, bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon ginger, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Shake to mix well. Add the shrimp and shake to coat.
• Whisk ketchup, orange juice, chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, Shaoxing wine, fish sauce, garlic, togarashi, 1 tablespoon ginger, and onion powder together in a medium bowl.
• Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Shake excess cornstarch mixture off the shrimp; add shrimp to the pan. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Swipe most of the oil out of the pan, leaving a light coat. Add the ketchup sauce; cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Arrange shrimp on a plate; drizzle sauce over and garnish with green onions and cilantro.
