Notes

Essential Tips for Best Results

To ensure your crispy honey shrimp remains perfect:

  • Do Not Over-marinate: Marinating shrimp for too long can make it mushy. A quick dip is sufficient to infuse flavor.
  • Double Frying Technique: For an extra crispy texture, consider frying the shrimp twice. This method, often used in Asian cooking, ensures a crunchier coating.

Storing and Reheating

  • Storing: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
  • Reheating: Reheat the shrimp in a pan over medium heat to maintain the crispiness. Avoid using a microwave as it can make the shrimp soggy.
