Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

24 lg Shrimp 1 c Cornstarch
1 1/4 ts Salt 3 Eggs
1/2 ts Sesame seed oil Peanut oil for frying

1) Peel and devein the shrimp, but leave the last tail segment intact.
Rinse the shrimp and pat dry. Give each shrimp a slight gash
crosswise at the top.

2) Sprinkle the shrimp with 1 ts salt and sesame oil and rub it in.

3) Dip the shrimp, one at a time, into the cornstarch.

4) Put 1/2 c of the leftover cornstarch in a bowl and add the egg and
the remaining salt. Mix well with the fingers.

5) Heat the oil for deep frying in a wok until it is hot and almost

until golden brown all over, about 2 minutes. As the shrimp are
browned, remove and drain on paper towels.

6) Return all the shrimp to the hot oil and deep fry about 1 minute
longer. Drain and serve hot.
