Ingredients
- 500 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup cold water
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
Step 3
Add the egg and cold water to the dry ingredients, then whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should have a slightly thick, pancake-like consistency. If needed, adjust with a teaspoon of cold water or a pinch of flour.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 180°C (350°F).
Step 5
Dry the marinated shrimp with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring the batter adheres better.
Step 6
Dip each shrimp into the batter, coating it evenly. Let any excess batter drip off before frying.
Step 7
Carefully drop the battered shrimp into the hot oil, a few pieces at a time, to avoid overcrowding the pot. Fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining shrimp and batter.
Step 10
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, ketchup, or a mixture of mayonnaise and banana ketchup for a Filipino twist.
