I have always loved shrimp and used it a lot in cooking especially stir-fry. Fried shrimps are popular among all ages especially with kids if you serve it with some special dipping sauce. These crispy and crunchy shrimp make a tempting appetizer or main dish. Just serve it with some salad or French fries.Ingredients:
1 pound of medium size shrimp
½ tsp of salt
½ tsp of pepper
Batter
5 tbsp of flour
2 tbsp of cornstarch
1 egg
½ tsp of salt
½ tsp of pepper
½ tsp of baking powder
1 small handful of cilantro – chopped
2 spring onions – chopped
1 cup of water – more or less
1. Shell shrimp and devein, retain the tail. Pat it dry and marinate with salt and pepper and set it aside.2. Mix all the ingredients for the batter, add in the water slowly and mix it until it’s thick and smooth. (I used about 1 cup)
3. Heat up oil to medium heat, hold the tail of the shrimp and dip in batter. Deep fry for 2 min or until golden brown.
4. Remove shrimp on a paper towel to absorb the oil. Serve with chili sauce and any kind of dipping sauce of your choice.
