Ingredients

• 500 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder
• 500 milliliters Oil (for frying)
• 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (for slurry)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with 4 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper powder. Mix well until the shrimp are evenly coated.

Step 2

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the shrimp in small batches until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 3

In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons chili sauce, 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sugar to the pan. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons water with 1 teaspoon cornstarch to make a slurry. Pour the slurry into the pan and cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until it thickens.

Step 6

Add the fried shrimp to the sauce and toss well to coat every piece evenly.

Step 7

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot as an appetizer or with steamed rice or noodles for a main course.
