Occasionally at Clairesquares we make something savory! It always includes a sweet component. This time we’ve added crunchy Flapjacks to shrimp and paired it with a delicious Thai-styled caramel dipping sauce.
Recipe
You will need 1 baking tray and a bag of 6″ skewers
Ingredients:
1 lb raw shrimp
Zest of 1 lime
1 free range egg
1 bag of Flapjacks
Salt & pepper to taste
1 tblsp oil
Method:
1) Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Coat a baking sheet with a generous tablespoon of oil or pan spray. Set aside. Shell and de-vein shrimp. Pat dry and season with salt, pepper and lime zest. Put shrimp onto 6″ skewers, cover and set aside in the refrigerator.
2) Crush the Flapjacks into crumbs. Place in a pie tin or rimmed plate and set aside.
3) Thoroughly beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Use a brush to paint each skewer with the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off. Press the skewer onto the Flapjack crumbs and flip over to coat the other side. Place the skewer directly onto the oiled baking sheet. Repeat until all the skewers are finished.
4) Bake the shrimp skewers for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip each skewer over and bake for another 5 minutes or so depending on the size of your shrimp.
5) Serve hot with caramel dipping sauce.
