  • Open the vanilla pod in half. Scrape the seeds and discard the pod.
  • In a bowl, combine the egg, salt, pepper, and vanilla seeds.
  • Clean the shrimp by removing the head and shell, and insert a skewer through the tail lengthwise for the skewer. Marinate in the preparation for 10 minutes.
  • Cut the flour tortilla into strips 1 cm wide and 15 cm long. Wrap the shrimp in the tortilla strips. Brush the tortillas well with the egg mixture using a brush so they stick. Fry in a pan with oil. Drain on a paper towel and remove the skewer. Set aside.
  • Serve cold decorated as if they were Voladores de Papantla
