Orange Peel Shrimp Like the one from PF Changs

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 large egg whites
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup sesame seed
coarse salt and pepper
1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced

Directions

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

Delicious! This was great before serving my main meal. It was nice served before serving a spice meal. My guests asked for the recipe. I will make this again. Made for Asian Unrated Recipe Tag Game.

OUTSTANDING! We really enjoy having this kind of shrimp, what with the combo of orange & soy in the sauce! Served with a brown rice & peas combo, this made for a very pleasant dinner! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Unrated Asian Recipe Tag Game]

First time making shrimp like this, easy and delicious! I might have to practice my presentation, but five stars for taste, we loved the tangy sweet sauce and this was a fantastic meal, quickly and easily prepared. Very very good, thank you! Made for Unrated Asian Recipes 2009
