Popcorn Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In another bowl, whisk together the tapioca flour, cornstarch, and cold water until smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully place the battered shrimp in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Serving

    On a serving plate, create a bed of shredded cabbage and top with the fried shrimp. Drizzle with sesame aioli and sprinkle with bonito flakes before serving.
