Sesame-Orange Shrimp

From EatingWell: November/December 2009

These shrimp are super-easy to make—just coat them in a simple batter, cook them in a little oil and toss with a tangy sesame-orange sauce. The staff at EatingWell simply could not get enough of these delicious shrimp while we were developing this recipe. Serve with: Brown basmati rice and steamed snow peas tossed with a little toasted sesame oil.

READER'S COMMENT:

"This recipe was absolutely disgusting! I will never make it again and wasted alot of money on food that no one would eat. The coating would not stay on the shrimp, did not get crispy and made a horrid shrimp pancake....

Delicious Simple Dish!

After cooking the rice and thawing the shrimp, the coating and sauce took me 15 minutes tops. Very simple and beginner friendly. Worth trying, inexpensive! Don't leave out the green onions! Overall delicious, I don't think the "breading" is meant to be crunchy so much as spongy to soak up the sauce and give it more flavor. very yummy, will make again!

Pros: ingredients on hand, easy to find ingredients, quick, healthy

Amazingly Tasty,...and Healthy Too!

This was a super easy recipe and it was amazing!!! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of substituting plain sesame seeds with toasted ones and I replaced sherry with red wine vinegar. I served it with the suggested bismatti rice and snap peas! It really was good tasted like authentic Asian food without all the work. And to think I almost did not make this because of the negative review that popped up with the recipe saying it was disgusting.....in my opinion that was definitely an erroneous review.

Easy & Delicious

Easy to prepare. No problem coating the shrimp as others described. Perhaps they didn't fully integrate the egg white and corn starch mixture before adding the shrimp? Anyway, it was devine. I used pre-cooked shrimp and there was no difficulty. The sauce was delicious on broccoli as well as the shrimp. Easy and delightful to make.

Pros: few ingredients, most on hand
