Notes
- Shrimp Preparation: For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, ensure they are completely thawed before cooking.
- Sauce Consistency: Adjust the thickness of the honey sauce according to your preference. If it's too thick, add a little water or lemon juice to thin it out.Oil
- Temperature for Frying: To ensure your shrimp are crispy and not greasy, use a thermometer to maintain the correct frying temperature (350°F to 375°F).
- Serving Suggestion: Serve the shrimp immediately after tossing them in the sauce to enjoy the best texture.
- Leftovers Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
