Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice with the jasmine tea and rosemary and simmer over moderate heat until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Strain the infused juice and return to the saucepan. Bring to a simmer and whisk in the cornstarch mixture, then cook until thickened, about 30 seconds. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and season the orange-rosemary sauce with salt.
In a large, shallow dish, separate the kataifi dough into individual threads using your fingers.
Add the basil and chives and toss to distribute throughout the pastry.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg with the water.
Spread the flour in another shallow bowl. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Holding the shrimp by the tail, dredge them in the flour and shake off the excess, then dip them in the beaten egg and roll in the kataifi; press to help it adhere.
Set a rack over a baking sheet. In a large, deep skillet, heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil to 35
Fry 4 or 5 shrimp at a time until the kataifi is golden brown and crisp, about 1 minute per side.
Drain the shrimp on the rack. Season with salt.
Serve the shrimp with the orange-rosemary sauce.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc
Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Shrimp. These crisp white wines work well with shrimp prepared in a variety of ways, whether grilled, fried, or in garlic sauce. The Caposaldo Pinot Grigio with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 10 dollars per bottle.
Caposaldo Pinot Grigio
Caposaldo Pinot Grigio features a dry, crisp, vibrant texture and delicate aromas of white fruit, flowers and almonds.Pairs well with white meats, fish, seafood, pasta dishes and delicate cheeses.
