Fried Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg and water together. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until well combined to form a batter.

  2. 2

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Cook the Peppers

    In the same oil, add sliced bell peppers (you can use a mix of red, yellow, and green) and fry for about 2-3 minutes until they are slightly tender.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Serve the fried shrimp with the cooked peppers on top or on the side. Enjoy!
