This versatile recipe is equally delicious when prepared with sliced chicken breast, pork loin, or steak. Ingredients 2 large egg whites ¼ cup cornstarch ¼ cup sesame seeds Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 ½ pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined ¼ cup vegetable oil, plus more if needed 1 cup fresh orange juice 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon sugar 4 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced Directions In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, cornstarch, sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until frothy. Add shrimp, and toss to coat. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two or three batches, cook shrimp until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add more oil to skillet if necessary for remaining batches. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Add orange juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Boil over high heat until syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup, 4 to 5 minutes. Return shrimp to skillet; add scallions, and cook until heated through and coated with sauce, about 1 minute.
