How To Make Mustard Mayo Shrimp
This effortless recipe can be prepared by both novice and experienced cooks. It starts with marinating the shrimp with salt, ground black pepper, Chinese Shaoxing wine, and corn starch. Next, prepare the mustard mayonnaise sauce by combining dijon mustard, Japanese mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a small bowl. The Japanese mayonnaise provides a rich and creamy base, while the Dijon mustard adds a pleasant tanginess. A touch of lemon juice brightens the flavors and adds a refreshing note. Then, deep-fry the shrimp to get a light yet crispy exterior. Finally, gently toss the deep-fried shrimp in a creamy mustard mayo sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together. Then, serve immediately.
Cooking Tips
For the best result, please follow my tips below.
Choose fresh large-size shrimp for the best taste. However, the frozen shrimp will also work for this recipe. Do Not overcrowd the pan while deep-frying the shrimp. When making the mayonnaise sauce, Dijon mustard can be substituted with wasabi. You may always adjust the amount of the ingredients when making a mustard mayonnaise sauce to suit your personal taste.
