Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Cold water
- 2 cups Vegetable oil, for frying
- 0 Lemon wedges (for serving)
- 0 Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and cold water until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Dip each piece of shrimp into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated, and gently place into the hot oil.
Step 7
Fry the shrimp in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried shrimp from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the fried shrimp immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges.
