Method
Shrimp Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Shrimp
In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and deveined North Atlantic shrimp with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all shrimp are coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Batter Preparation
- 2
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually stir in the cold water until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). To check the temperature, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

Coat and Fry the Shrimp
Remove the marinated shrimp from the refrigerator. Dip each shrimp into the prepared batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
