　　Crispy Pearl Shrimp

　　Main ingredients:

　　　370g large shrimp, 70g lettuce leaves, 2 eggs, 25g flour, 50g bread.

　　Seasonings:

　　　500g vegetable oil (approximately 50g used), 8g chopped scallions, 5g ginger, 3g salt, 1g pepper, 13g cooking wine, 4g MSG

　　Instructions:

　　1. Slice the scallions and ginger. Cut the bread into tiny cubes, about the size of mung beans. Wash and disinfect the lettuce leaves. Clean the shrimp, remove the heads, shells, and the dark intestinal veins along the back. Make a cut along the back to open them into a single flap, then lightly score the inside surface in a crisscross pattern. Marinate the prepared shrimp in the seasonings for half an hour to absorb the flavors.

　　2. Coat both sides of the shrimp with flour, then dip them in beaten egg. Press bread cubes firmly onto both sides of the shrimp, ensuring they stick well.

　　3. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok until it reaches 60% heat. Add the prepared shrimp and deep-fry until golden brown, crispy on the outside and cooked through inside. Remove and cut each shrimp into three pieces. Arrange on a plate and garnish with lettuce leaves to serve.
