Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Shrimp
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with Mr. & Mrs. Crab Special Seasoning. Toss to coat well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add cold water until you achieve a smooth batter consistency.
Cooking

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

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

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the battered shrimp to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
