By jarren

Ingredients

• 2 large egg whites
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 14 cup vegetable oil, plus more, if needed
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 4 green onions, trimmed and thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, cornstarch, sesame seeds, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper, until frothy. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two or three batches, cook shrimp until golden and crisp, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Add more oil to skillet, if necessary, for remaining batches. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Add orange juice, soy sauce and sugar. Boil over high heat until syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup, 4-5 minutes. Return shrimp to skillet, add green onions and cook until heated through and coated with the sauce, about 1 minute.
