Directions

In a large bowl, whisk egg whites with cornstarch, White Sesame Seeds, coconut and Salt & Pepper Tableside Seasoning until frothy. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in batches and cook until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 min. per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add more oil to skillet if necessary for remaining batches. Once shrimp is cooked, use a paper towel to wipe out remaining oil from skillet. Add orange juice, soy sauce and sugar to skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer until reduced to about 1/3 cup. This should take about 5 min. and resulting mixture should be syrupy. Return shrimp to skillet, add Freeze Dried Scallions and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, and cook until heated through and coated with sauce, about 1 min. Remove from heat and serve.
