As far as the amount of ingredients, you the
cook be the judge. It all depends on the amount
of shrimp you have to fry. If too much batter is
made, it can be saved for a later use.
Put flour in bowl, add oil. Mix until paste is
formed. Add egg and mix. Add cold water (ice
cold). Add salt, pepper, lemon juice and other
spices, if desired.
If batter is too thin add more flour, if too
thick add more ice water. Your shrimp should
just stick to batter and not drip.
Your shrimp must be thoroughly dried before
they are put in this batter. Butterfly shrimp
before putting in the batter. Let drain in a
colander or dry with paper towels. Fry in deep
fat. |
