Ebi Fry (Japanese Fried Shrimp)
Ebi Fry is an iconic fried dish that's perfect as an appetizer or part of the main meal as well. This Japanese-inspired Fried Shrimp recipe uses panko breadcrumbs instead of the traditional wet batter to stay crispy longer. Please note that this specific recipe is only for shrimp and not for vegetables.
