    Recipe Introduction


    I love this dish. Easy to do and so delicious. Serve with rice. A nice simple dinner.

    List of Ingredients




    Sesame Orange Shrimp


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

    Recipe




    Instructions
    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.

    Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large nonstick pan over medium high heat.

    Working in two or three batches cook shrimp until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

    Add more oil to pan if necessary for remaining batches.

    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 or 5 minutes.

    Return shrimp to skillet; add scallions, and cook until heated through and coated with sauce, about 1 minute.


    Recipe Notes

    Try cooking cubed chicken instead of the shrimp, adding red pepper flakes to the sauce and some orange zest.
