  2. In another bowl, prepare three stations: one with cornstarch, another with the beaten egg, and the last with breadcrumbs.
Coating and Frying Shrimp
  1. Dredge each shrimp in cornstarch, dip it into the egg, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs.

  4. Remove and set on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Assembling the Bowl

Notes

If shrimp isn’t your thing, consider using Halal chicken breast or tofu for a vegetarian twist. Ensure your oil is hot before frying for the crispiest shrimp. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in an oven or air fryer.
