Crispy Shrimp Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Shrimp
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add ice-cold water to create a batter that is smooth but thick enough to coat the shrimp.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, and carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Prepare the Peppers
In the same oil, fry the shishito peppers for about 1-2 minutes until blistered and slightly charred. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve the crispy shrimp alongside the fried shishito peppers and drizzle with spicy aioli.
