Instructions
- Clean the shrimp by peeling, deveining, and rinsing them, leaving the tails on.
- Make shallow vertical slits on the underside of each shrimp to prevent curling during frying.
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, bonito flakes, egg, and milk; whisk until well combined.
- Pour Panko breadcrumbs onto a shallow plate.
- Coat each shrimp with the batter, then roll it in the Panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 340°F to 360°F (170°C to 182°C).
- Deep-fry the shrimp until golden brown and crispy on both sides, then drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing chopped hard-boiled egg, onion, and Japanese mayonnaise; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the fried shrimp hot with the cold dipping sauce.
