Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 1 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 2 tbsp red chili flakes
  • ½ lb shrimp
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • water
  • tomato paste
  • cornstarch
Put a pan on medium-high heat and add the rice wine vinegar, water, sugar, grated ginger, garlic, red chili flakes and a little tomato paste.
Building the sweet chili sauce
Reduce about 10 minutes on medium heat until syrupy; turn off the heat and let it cool, when it thickens more.
  • flour
Season flour with onion powder, paprika, garlic powder and a good amount of salt.
  • salt
  • 1 whole egg
Crack an egg and whisk it, without milk, so it binds well.
  • shredded filo dough
Two shrimp at a time, dip in the seasoned flour, then coat well in the egg.
Wrap each shrimp in shredded filo dough, trimming the edge so there is not too much.
  • canola oil
Fry in a pot filled about a third of the way with canola oil at 350 to 375F for about three to five minutes depending on size, flipping once, until golden brown.
Serve the crispy shrimp with the sweet chili sauce for dipping.
