Method
Preparing the Crispy Rock Shrimp
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Prepare Batter
Gradually add cold water to the dry mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms. It should be slightly thick but pourable.
Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Coat Shrimp
Dip each rock shrimp into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before placing them gently in the hot oil.
Fry Shrimp
Fry the shrimp in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Preparing the Spicy Mayo
Combine Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth and well blended.
Garnishing
Garnish the Dish
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the crispy shrimp and top with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
