Chili Shrimp

Billy Ngo, now chef at Kru, a Japanese restaurant in Sacramento, shared this dish inspired by his previous restaurant, Red Lotus. Instead of frying the shrimp in tempura batter, as he does, we've added puffed rice (less fat, but still crunchy). If extra guests arrive, you can stretch this dish by adding any Asian-style slaw.
How to Make It
Step 1
Mix mayo, chili oil, and soy sauce in a bowl; set aside.
Step 2
Preheat broiler with rack set about 5 in. from heat. Coat shrimp with oil and lay evenly on a broiler pan. Broil until pink and firm, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 3
Drizzle shrimp with honey and sprinkle with salt, tossing to coat. Arrange shrimp evenly on a serving plate. Sprinkle with chile slices, puffed rice, and chile flakes. Serve immediately with sauce on the side.
Step 4
