In Japanese, “pan” means bread, and “ko” translates to crumbs, flour or powder. Panko are light, flaky breadcrumbs made from crustless loaves of bread used in both savoury and sweet dishes. Popular and preferred for their texture, neutral flavour, and versatility. These breadcrumbs are unique, absorb less oil, and provide a crispy, crunchy layer that gives an impressive look to the finished food.
Shrimps are versatile, flavourful and readily available throughout the year. Crispy panko fried shrimp is a popular, delicious appetizer. Prepping the shrimps takes some time, but once ready, they require only a few minutes to cook. Accompanied with an easy cocktail sauce, incredibly delicious. A hint of heat and sweet from the sauce, with the light and airy outer crust, followed by the succulent shrimp is a party in the mouth.
