Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder
- 500 milliliters Oil (for frying)
- 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (for slurry)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with 4 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 beaten egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.5 teaspoon black pepper powder. Mix well until the shrimp are evenly coated.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the shrimp in small batches until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons chili sauce, 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sugar to the pan. Stir well to combine.
In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons water with 1 teaspoon cornstarch to make a slurry. Pour the slurry into the pan and cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until it thickens.
Add the fried shrimp to the sauce and toss well to coat every piece evenly.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot as an appetizer or with steamed rice or noodles for a main course.
