Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Plant-based shrimps
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.
In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each piece of plant-based shrimp into the vegan buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
Coat the shrimp in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure a good adherence of the coating.
Place the coated shrimp on a plate and repeat with the remaining pieces.
In a separate bowl, spread the panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each flour-coated shrimp back into the vegan buttermilk and then roll in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the coated shrimps in the hot oil, frying in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried shrimps and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
