How to Make Crispy Honey Shrimp

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add 1/2 cup water and 1 large egg. Gradually whisk in the flour until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, toss 1 pound of shrimp with 1/2 cup cornstarch until evenly coated. Shake off any excess cornstarch.
  4. Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Carefully add the battered shrimp to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Remove the cooked shrimp from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Keep warm.
  8. Once all shrimp are fried, carefully remove the hot oil from the wok or skillet.
  9. In the same wok or skillet, gently heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil over medium heat.
  10. Add 1/2 cup honey to the pan and stir until it's melted and slightly warmed through.
  11. Add the fried shrimp to the honey sauce and toss gently to coat.
  12. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sesame seeds over the shrimp and toss again.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy your restaurant-worthy Crispy Honey Shrimp!
