by Global Cookbook

Ingredients

1/4 c. creamy peanut butter 4 tsp soy sauce 4 tsp fresh lemon juice or possibly to taste 2 tsp firmly packed light brown sugar 1 lrg garlic clove chopped

1/3 c. plus 2 Tbsp. water cayenne to taste 2 Tbsp. thinly sliced scallion greens 1 lrg egg 3/4 lb small shrimp (about 32), shelled all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper vegetable oil for deep-frying the shrimp

Directions

1. In a small heavy saucepan combine the peanut butter, the soy sauce, the lemon juice, the brown sugar, the garlic, 1/3 c. of the water, and the cayenne, bring the mix just to a boil, whisking till it is smooth, and whisk in the scallion greens. Keep the sauce hot. In a small bowl whisk together the egg and the remaining 2 Tbsp. water and add in the shrimp. In a large plastic bag have ready the flour. Add in the shrimp, liquid removed well, to the flour, and in a sieve shake them to knock off the excess flour. In a deep skillet heat 1 inch of the oil till a deep-fat thermometer registers 275F., in it fry the shrimp in 2 batches, stirring them once, for 1 minute, or possibly till they are just cooked through, and transfer them with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Serve the shrimp with the sauce.
2. Serves 2.
