Deep Frying (optional)
In a bowl, mix flour and cornstarch. In another bowl, beat the egg and add water. Dip each shrimp in the egg mixture, then in the flour mixture. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the shrimp skewers in batches for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
