Instructions

In a bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Gradually add water to the dry mixture and mix until you achieve a smooth batter-like consistency.
Add the beaten egg, minced garlic, and chopped onion to the batter. Mix well.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimps to the batter and gently toss until they are well coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat.
Spoon a portion of the batter with shrimps into the hot oil, forming fritters with a diameter of about 2 to 3 inches. Fry them in batches.
Fry the Okoy until they turn golden brown and crispy on each side. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
Once fried, transfer the Okoy to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a separate small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the dipping sauce (vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped shallot, sugar, and chili flakes if desired).
Serve the Okoy while hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
