Ingredients

• Canola oil to cook
• 2 minced shallots
• 1 tablespoon minced ginger
• 2 minced Thai bird chiles
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon clear soy sauce (Kikkoman PK-58)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 20 to 24 large shrimp (U-10's or bigger), peeled, deveined, tail on

Directions

In a saucepan coated lightly with oil on medium heat, saute shallots, ginger and chiles until soft, about 3 minutes. Deglaze with juices, sugar and soy sauce. Check for seasoning. Reduce by 50 percent until a syrup consistency is achieved. Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Mix flour with chile. Dredge shrimp in chile-flour, then egg, then panko and fry at 350 degrees until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve sauce in a ramekin, surrounded by the shrimp on a bed of greens.
