Ebi Mayo (エビマヨ)

Printable recipe: Ebi Mayo

If there were one food that would get me into trouble with my allergies, this would be it (other than honey roasted peanuts).

These fried shrimp are a very popular item in izakaya, and I found that it enhanced the taste of a red wine we had from Rockpile vineyards (at least I think that was it).

The sauce is very similar to Thousand Island dressing, and it all comes together very nicely.

The best part? It only takes 15 or so minutes. I used this recipe.

Ingredients

• 12 prawns, peeled and deveined
• ¼ cup sake
• 5 tbsp katakuriko or corn starch
• cooking oil

Sauce

• 3 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp milk (optional)
• 2 tsp ketchup
• 2 tsp honey or sugar

Method

• Marinate shrimp in sake for 2-3 minutes.
• Dredge shrimp in corn starch and fry in pan with about ¼” oil until cooked and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
• Remove and transfer to paper towel. Pat to remove excess oil.
• Mix sauce ingredients together, adjust to taste, coat shrimp with mixture, and serve.
