The refrigerator light goes on...

The key to good crunchy shrimp is to coat them well with panko and add them to the hot pan. After that adjust the heat to keep it very high but not so hot that the breadcrumbs burn. After cooking on the first side and turning the shrimp, add the remaining oil and swirl the shrimp in the pan.

For gluten free versions of this recipe, use Ian's gluten free panko crumbs and gluten-free tamari sauce.
