Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Mix well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 3

    Make the Batter

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then gradually add the cold water while whisking. Combine this mixture with the dry ingredients until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to adhere to the shrimp.

Frying Shrimp

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Coat and Fry Shrimp

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

  3. 6

    Cook the Shrimp

    Fry the shrimp in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Drain the Shrimp

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
