For the Shrimp & Battered Fish
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold sparkling water, whisking until the batter is smooth and has a slightly thick consistency.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- 3
Batter and Fry the Fish
Dip the fish fillets into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Batter and Fry the Shrimp
Next, dip the shrimp into the batter and fry them in the same manner as the fish, for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
