Shrimp & marinade

  • 1 lb Large shrimp 26/30 Can be jumbo 21/25
  • 1 TBSP Chili garlic sauce https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01756BJGA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 TBSP sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 ounces Rice Stick, rice noodles You can use one of these types of noodles, or use a mix. Use about 2 ounces of each if using all 3, or 4-6 ounces of a single noodle
  • 2 ounces Ramen type noodles
  • 2 ounces Glass noodles
  • 1 quart water or broth
  • 1 tsp tumeric
  • 1 TBSP soy sauce I use Kikoman soy sauce, https://www.amazon.com/Kikkoman-Soy-Sauce-10-oz/dp/B00EWNAH68/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2DT0PO0R5UG4R&keywords=kikkoman+soy+sauce&qid=1646932124&s=grocery&sprefix=kikoman%2Cgrocery%2C83&sr=1-4
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1-2 TBSP Peanut or vegetable oli
  • 1-2 sheets Rice paper I use 3 Ladies here as well, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EAFNGMA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1
  • For the deep fryy, add vegetable oil, about 2 inches in the pan. Bring the oil to 350-375. Do not crowd the pan, add 4 or so shrimp and deep fry them.

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the shrimp, and peel the shell leaving the tail. Pat dry on paper towels.
  • Add the chili garlic sauce, onion powder, sesame oil, and salt and whisk well. Place the shrimp in a bowl and mix well. Marinade for 30 minutes.
  • In a sauce pan, place the water/broth, tumeric, soy sauce, sea salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and turn off the heat.
  • Place the noodles in the pan liquid, and let stand for at least 5 minutes. Then drain them. Let the noodles cool.
  • Add 1-2 TBSP oil to a fry pan. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and add them to a fry pan. Fry until nicely browned on both sides, but not completely cooked. They will finish cooking when deep fried.
  • Set the shrimp aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Wrap the shrimp with noodles, about 10-15 strands depending.
  • Place the rice paper in water and when pliable, cut strips about 1/2 inch each. Once the shrimp is wrapped with the noodles, wrap the piece of rice paper around the noodles. This helps to keep them in place, see the pictures. You don't have to do this step and the shrimp will look like the pictures below.
  • Deep fry the noodle-shrimp wrap until browned about 30-60 seconds. Keep the temperature between 350-375 and use a thermometer. Then remove the shrimps and place them on a wire rack, then place them on paper towels.
  • Serve with dipping sauce. They can be served at room temperature.

Notes

*I suggest that you keep the noodles seperate. If you are using all 3, place 2 ounces in the sauce pan, when pliable take them out and place in the second noodle, then the third.
