Heat vegetable oil for frying.

Drain excess moisture from the shrimp before frying.

Hold the shrimp in the oil for a moment before dropping it in to prevent sticking.

Fry the shrimp for about 30-40 seconds until cooked.

Remove excess oil and place shrimp on kitchen roll to drain.

Roll two limes to release juice, then slice and squeeze into a pan.

Add one tablespoon of wasabi powder and two tablespoons of water to the lime juice and whisk.

Heat the mixture on the stove until it boils and reduces by half.

Add four tablespoons of mayonnaise and one teaspoon of sugar to the sauce and mix well.

Toss the fried shrimp in the wasabi sauce until coated.

Serve the shrimp over steamed rice and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and grated lime.
