Ingredients for WO-Kid's Fried Shrimp
Method
Directions for Preparing WO-Kid's Fried Shrimp
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the beaten egg and water to the dry mixture. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Coat the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
