Fried Shrimp technique

DD - How do they fry in Japan?  Never been to Japan. Never seen a Japanese restaurant here do tempura, etc.

Thanks for any info on their frying process.  Type of equipment?

The only way to fry shrimp or fish is to just bread it in House of Autry Hot Seafood Breader that is available in most supermarkets.You dont need Eggs,Milk,Panko Crumbs.Italians Bread Crumbs,Flour,Cornmeal Ect.You want the seafood to be as light as possible so you can taste the food.Fry it in small batches in HOT OIL.

Baah,

Frying foods for crispy results require a clear fat/oil. This is pretty universal for all cuisines.  Butter is for sauteing and olive oil isn't even used by Italians for quantity and economic reasons.
Here is a excellent example, with a young housewife making fried chicken using a shallow pan and minimal oil.
Frankly, you asked for this......

I have panko in my cupboard, always have.  I have a variety of recipes for for breadings, batters and coatings for deep frying at home.

I love panko bread crumbs, but I have found you have to be very careful they do not burn. If you are going to use them, I'd pan fry the breaded shrimp in a combo of butter and olive oil. I have never tried deep frying anything with panko..Just pan frying.

Just do the frying as they do in Japan.  That country does not use olive oil or butter, why start now?

Foodbme ===BANANA KETCHUP???????? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT???????????. I understand how a mixture of Ginger & Wasabi would work,  but BANANA KETCHUP??????? ====

Banana ketchup is from the Philipines, and is another part of the answer how the word ketjap/ ketchup/catsup came across the Pacific and into our lexicon.  Banana ketchup is made from bananas and looks and tastes like ....catsup.
You pretty much cannot tell the difference, though some versions are a bit spicier.

I just googled Banana Ketchup and learned more about it. THANX for the education. We have a new expansive Asian market that just opened with a good Philipino section. I'm going to get some & try it.

Everyone has been helpful frying my little shrimps! PANKO forever!!!!! Banana ketchup, I'm still trying to embrace?

Everything is better when you say Banana, ...or Bacon.

Kona's recipe is not too far from my dipping sauce idea.  I probably would switch soy for Worcestershire and the banana ketchup for Heinz.

Lot of us here use a commercial package mix called "fish fry," which is just seasoned corn flour.  It might be hard to find where you live, but just curious if you couldn't put the cornmeal in a processor to give it a finer texture, add pepper, with a little creole seasoning?
