Batter-dipped shrimp
Batter-dipped shrimp
Batter-dipped shrimp is a popular dish where shrimp is coated in a light, crispy batter before being deep-fried. The batter typically consists of flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and seasonings. It gives the shrimp a delicious crunchy texture while keeping the inside juicy and flavorful.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cold water
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
- Gradually whisk in the cold water until you have a smooth batter. The consistency should be thick but still pourable.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (180°C).
- Dip each shrimp into the batter, coating it evenly.
- Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the cooked shrimp with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the batter-dipped shrimp hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a squeeze of lemon.
- Enjoy!
