I think Panko breadcrumbs is one of the best Japanese food products ever … it is so light and crispy … especially with this butterflied, Panko breaded, jumbo prawns/shrimps!
This is definitely one dish that almost everybody loves …. and it is so simple & quick to make … I served this as a starter at one of the dinner parties we hosted

Method:
