Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp tails (peeled and deveined)
- 100 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 250 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the water until combined.
Pat the shrimp tails dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dip each shrimp tail into the egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip off.
Dredge the shrimp tails in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the shrimp tails halfway during frying.
Once the oil is hot, gently place the shrimp tails into the pan, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the shrimp tails are cooked through.
Remove the shrimp tails from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the pan-fried shrimp tails hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
