Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dried to achieve a crispy coating.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another small bowl, beat the egg. Combine the dry ingredients with the beaten egg, adding a little water if necessary to create a thick batter.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature for frying.

  2. 4

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off before placing in the hot oil.

  3. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the coated shrimp into the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and place them onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Once all the shrimp are fried, arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. Serve hot.
