Shrimp in Panko Breadcrumbs
Description
This recipe won't take much time. You can make this appetizer with any shrimp, but we prefer medium-sized shrimp. It's best to make them with panko breadcrumbs, as they make the coating more tender and delicious. This breading mixture comes from Japan and is made from special white bread. Cooking time depends on the size of the shrimp and whether they have been pre-cooked. Medium-sized shrimp need only 1–2 minutes, while large raw ones need no more than 3 minutes. You can serve the shrimp with beer or with various sauces.
