Question

How do I make the shrimp straight?

Community Answer

Remove the tail and legs off from the shrimp and create some slits on the undersides using a knife. Then, bend the shrimp backwards by firmly holding onto it with both hands so that it can straighten. You can also use skewers pushed into the shrimp to keep them straight before cooking.

You may have to add extra Panko crumbs to the bag to finish coating the shrimp. This is a flexible recipe.
