Kataifi Shrimp
I know you’re going to love making and eating this easy appetizer/meze offering. Shrimp has a wide appeal, its available fresh or frozen practically everywhere, it’s sustainable, easy to prepare and of course, delicious.
We’ve all had fried shrimp…begining with breaded and fried, more recently Panko bread crumb (from Japan) has entered many households and now I’m going to show you how to use Kataifi pastry as a coating.
Kataifi pastry is that shredded wheat looking pastry that you will often find beside the phyllo packages in the freezer at the market. It’s mostly used for sweets but recently, I’ve seen it made into nests for savory dishes or jumbo shrimp wrapped in kataifi.
This method is much easier – you can take the kataifi out of is box and intentionally allow it to dry out…kataifi becomes the new breadcrumb! This recipe is quick, easy to prepare and from a taste perspective, the shrimp is still the star as you need not worry about eating too much kataifi vs. shrimp.
Nevermind how pretty they look, you’re surely going to be popping a few of these in your mouth!

- Place the shrimp on the bottom end of the kataifi and roll up and around the shrimp. Dip your fingers in a bowl of water and place the wrapped shrimp in your palm and gently squeeze (this will keep your kataifi from unraveling when frying. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Place the shrimp in your fridge for 30 minutes to set. Meanwhile, make the sauce by adding honey, lemon juice in a bowl and whisk to combine. Taste, adjust honey/lemon amounts. A Sriracha to taste, stir in and set aside.
