Oven-Fried Shrimp

"Kewpie is the ultimate secret ingredient to creating a perfect battered-and-fried crunch without a deep fryer. In this recipe for mayo-and-panko-coated shrimp, Kewpie does two things: First, it replaces the usual egg dip, since it has so much yolk.

"shrimp, Kewpie does two things: First, it replaces the usual egg dip, since it has so much yolk. Second, as the mayonnaise heats up in the oven, so does the oil in it, which ends up frying the shrimp and giving the panko crust an irresistible crunch. The result is a snack that's too easy to pop one after another."

Kewpie mayonnaise acts as both binder and frying agent for mayo-and-panko-coated shrimp, replacing the usual egg dip because of its high yolk content. As the mayonnaise heats in the oven, the oil within it becomes hot enough to fry the shrimp and crisp the panko, creating a battered-and-fried texture without a deep fryer. The panko forms an irresistible crunchy crust while the shrimp cooks through, yielding a rich, yolky flavor and a distinctive crispness. The method simplifies fried shrimp preparation and produces an addictive, easy-to-pop snack.
