Shrimp & Chips Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Batter the Shrimp

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Cook the Fries

    While the shrimp cooks, prepare the steak fries according to package instructions or fry fresh ones until golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the fried shrimp with steak fries, garnish with coleslaw, and serve with cocktail sauce on the side.
