Seafood · Main ingredient: Shrimp · ⏱ 6 min · Serves 5 · ~₱365 · Best for: Dinner, Lunch, Snack

Ingredients

• 1 kg Large shrimp, peeled with tails intact, deveined
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornstarch
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 pc Egg, beaten
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 2 cup 4 cups cooking oil, for deep frying

Instructions

1. Butterfly the shrimp slightly by making a shallow cut along the belly to help them straighten while frying, then season lightly with salt.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the beaten egg and ice-cold water gradually, mixing until you get a smooth, thick batter (do not overmix; some lumps are fine).
4. Heat oil in a deep pan or wok to about 350°F (175°C).
5. Hold each shrimp by the tail, dip into the batter to coat evenly, and carefully lower into the hot oil.
6. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
7. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
8. Serve hot with sweet and sour dipping sauce on the side.
