Ingredients

  • 1 pound large jumbo tiger shrimp peeled and deveined

Marinade for Shrimp:

  • 1 large egg I use pasture raised
  • 1 teaspoon greek yogurt plain
  • 1/2 teaspoon cajun seasonings see my recipe
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

For the coating:

  • 1 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted, I used Kerrygold (no natural flavoring)
  • 2/3 cups panko crumbs see below: How to Make Panko Crumbs from Japanese Milk Bread
  • 1/2 teaspoon cajun seasonings
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon neutral oil (for brushing the wire rack)
  • 1 recipe Karen's Lemony Aioli Dipping Sauce see recipe

Notes

To make Homemade Panko Crumbs:
Take 2 slices of Japanese Milk Bread, trim off the crusts and cut in half.
Place in a ziplock bag and freeze until very firm, at least 4 hours.
Using your hand grater - medium hole; grate the frozen bread using long strokes onto a wax paper sheet underneath. Spread  the crumbs into a single layer and leave to dry overnight. (You can bake on a low 300 oven until crisped but not colored, about 5 minutes.) Store in an airtight container, no need to refrigerate.
