Breaded shrimp skewers, crunchy with panko, a typical Japanese breading that I recently discovered and even make at home. For this recipe, you can buy it, or you can follow the link to read all the steps and tricks to make it comfortably at home. Usually, when I make it, once it’s well chilled, I season it with finely chopped parsley and garlic and lemon zest and store it in a jar in the fridge to have it always ready. On my blog, you’ll find all the details https://blog.giallozafferano.it/vaipinacucina

Steps
You can buy Panko ready-made in specialty stores, or you can make it yourself following my recipe.
I cut into small pieces 3 slices of white bread without crust. You can also simply use 3 slices of sandwich bread, removing the dark crust.
I coarsely chopped it in the chopper and placed it on a baking tray with parchment paper at 300°F for 30 minutes and baked in the oven, turning it a couple of times.
Season the panko with grated lemon, chopped parsley, and garlic.
Dip the shrimp in egg white and then in the fragrant panko.
Cook in a small pot with deep oil at 340°F for a few seconds the breaded shrimp skewers.

About Shrimp
Of course, guys, after cleaning the shrimp, don’t think I threw everything else away. I prepared a fish stock with which I cooked a simply amazing risotto. In my kitchen, and I think not only mine, nothing is wasted.
