Crispy Sesame Shrimp

I love shrimp. Particularly if they are breaded and fried- oh gosh... yum. BUT, I try not to eat fried food too often and needed to find ways to cure this craving for fried shrimp. I found this recipe from a random google search and thought it sounded interesting. It was really quite tasty. When I pulled the tray out of the oven I called John over because they were so beautifully golden with perfect pink tails. I was in foodie heaven looking at that platter. Next time I make these I would make an Asian glaze to drizzle over then because I think it would complement the flavors nicely.

Random side note- one of my students calls shrimp "scrimps".... how cute is that?! He always says "I had scrimps for dinner!" Never shrimp, or even shrimps, but "scrimps." I have yet to correct him, I guess that makes me a bad teacher haha!
