• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

3. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and cold water until well combined.

4. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms.

5. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

6. Dip each piece of shrimp into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated, and gently place into the hot oil.

7. Fry the shrimp in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

8. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried shrimp from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

9. Serve the fried shrimp immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and accompanied by lemon wedges.
