• Medium Shrimp (1 lb., between 30-35 shrimps, cleaned and de-veined)
• Flour (2 cups)
• Egg (2 beaten)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Vegetable oil (peanut oil, sunflower oil, canola oil)
For Hot & Sour Sauce:
- Sirracha Sauce (2 tablespoons)

Instructions:
1) Add corn starch into water and let it completely dissolve into water. Set aside.
2) In a small sauce pan, add chili sauce, oyster sauce, honey, ketchup, oil and corn starch water. Place over stove, and turn flame high. Once mixture starts to boil, turn flame to low, and let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
3) Place flour, beaten egg, and shrimp in 3 separate containers. Add salt to flour. Take each shrimp, dip it into beaten egg, and then dip into flour. Make sure there is no excess flour on shrimp.
4) In a hot skillet, add peanut oil covering entire skillet. Lay shrimp in skillet, making sure there is space between each shrimp so there is enough heat to cook the shrimp to golden crispy. Add lid or cooking foil for a couple of minutes over pan to trap heat, so shrimp cooks inside. When one side is crispy golden brown, flip shrimp over and finish cooking the other side.
5) Place cooked shrimp on platter and pour the hot & sour sauce all over it.
Serves: 4-6
