Firecracker Shrimp with Sweet Chili Sauce
15 eggroll/springroll wrappers, cut in half diagonally (2 triangles)
Oil for frying
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. grated ginger (using rasp grater)
1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. sweet chili sauce, plus additional for dipping
1 tsp. cornstarch
1 T. cornstarch
1/4 C. water
Taking a cue from the Japanese shrimp tempura, score or nick the shrimp several times along the inside of the “curve.†This lets you straighten out the shrimp so you don’t get a short, curly roll. Just be sure not to cut too far…three little nicks is good. Combine marinade ingredients in bowl, marinate shrimp for 20 minutes. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Wrap each shrimp tightly in a eggroll/spring roll wrapper half. Seal with a little cornstarch paste on the corner. Fry in hot oil (375) for 3 minutes, until golden brown and shrimp is cooked through. Serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping
