Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp tails (peeled and deveined)
- 100 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 250 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the water until combined.
Step 3
Pat the shrimp tails dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 4
Dip each shrimp tail into the egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip off.
Step 5
Dredge the shrimp tails in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 6
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the shrimp tails halfway during frying.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, gently place the shrimp tails into the pan, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 8
Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the shrimp tails are cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the shrimp tails from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the pan-fried shrimp tails hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
