Ebi Mayo Recipe: Juicy Fried Prawn in Creamy Mayonnaise Sauce
My organic Ebi Mayo recipe, which is my favorite prawn dish. It’s so yummy! I bet you will be addicted once you try this dish! I got the idea from a Japanese Izakaya we used to go to in Shibuya, Tokyo. My husband also loves this dish and he was happy to see that I attempted to make it, since we can no longer go to our regular izakaya in Tokyo.
This Ebi Mayo recipe calls for Japanese mayonnaise. Japanese mayonnaise is quite different in taste to American mayonnaise. If you just made a face of disgust, due to thought of eating American mayonnaise, I’m with you and let me tell you, this taste nothing like it. You might actually really enjoy it. And if you do enjoy American mayonnaise, you may also enjoy this different tasting mayonnaise.
If you have a Japanese supermarket in your area, like Nijiya, they should carry Japanese mayonnaise. However, if not, or you want to create an easy to make organic version, I got your covered. Click the link to see my Japanese mayonnaise recipe.
