How to Prepare Shrimp with Orange Sauce

Prepare the Shrimp
After buying the shrimp, wash them thoroughly with clean water several times, then peel the shell, remove the head while keeping the tail, and clean the back vein.
Season the prepared shrimp with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and crack the white of 1 egg (keep the yolk in a separate bowl), then mix well to let the shrimp absorb the seasoning.
Next, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the bowl and mix well to coat the shrimp evenly with the flour.
-
Fry the Shrimp
Place a pan on the stove, add about 300ml of cooking oil, when the oil is hot, add the shrimp and fry over medium heat. After frying for about 2 minutes, the shrimp will be golden on one side; turn them over and fry until golden on the other side for about 1 minute, continue frying until all the shrimp are cooked.
Tip: To keep the fried shrimp tender, sweet, and cook quickly, you should fry the shrimp in small batches of about 6 – 8 pieces.
Once the shrimp are golden and crispy, remove them to drain the oil.
-
Making the orange sauce
Cut 2 oranges in half and squeeze to extract the juice; to make the sauce smooth and thick, strain the orange juice through a sieve.
Tip: To adjust the amount of sugar when seasoning the sauce, taste the orange juice before adding spices. If the orange juice is sour, add sugar; if the orange juice is sweet, no need to add sugar.
Add 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of orange powder, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of chili sauce, and 1 tablespoon of white wine to the orange juice, then stir well to dissolve all the seasonings.
In another bowl, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water, then stir to dissolve into a cornstarch mixture to cook with the orange sauce in the next step.

Shrimp in orange sauce
Place a pan on the stove and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, when the garlic is aromatic, add the orange sauce and cook on low heat for about 5 – 10 minutes.
When the sauce begins to boil, add the cornstarch mixture and stir well, cooking on the stove for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly; you can adjust the seasoning to taste.

When the orange sauce thickens slightly, add the golden-fried shrimp and stir well on the stove for about 5 minutes over medium heat to allow the shrimp to absorb the flavors.

How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- You should choose live shrimp with a transparent outer shell, having a characteristic sea smell, not a fishy smell.
- The shrimp’s head is tightly attached to the body, the tail is folded together, and the shrimp’s body is straight or only slightly curved, indicating that the shrimp is still fresh.
- If buying frozen shrimp, you must choose shrimp that still have all their parts, feel firm, and naturally elastic (to avoid buying shrimp that have been injected with gelatin to increase weight) and have no fishy or spoiled smell.
- You should not choose shrimp with black spots under the shell, shrimp bodies that are round and curved, and tails that are spread out, as these are shrimp that have been injected with water, of poor quality, and when eaten, the shrimp meat will not be sweet and delicious.

How to choose fresh, delicious oranges
- Delicious oranges will have a stem; when touched, the stem feels firm and cannot be easily broken off by hand.
- Choose oranges with fresh skin, feeling smooth and shiny when touched, and when gently squeezed, essential oil will be released.
- It is advisable to choose oranges that are evenly round, feel solid in hand, and have a yellow color at the bottom.
- Additionally, pay attention to the stem end of the orange; if it is indented compared to the surrounding surface, then it is a juicy orange.
- Avoid buying oranges with scars, dark spots, or dull skin as these are old oranges that will have a spoiled smell and taste unpleasant when eaten.
