This delicious exotic appetizer is quick and easy to prepare. The main thing for the hostess is to know a few basic secrets of how to process shrimp, as well as the recipe for the right delicious batter.
It is necessary
- - 8 large shrimps;
- - 100 milliliters of ice water;
- - 50 grams of wheat flour;
- - a few ice cubes;
- - 50 grams of soy sauce;
- - vegetable oil.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, the shrimp must be thoroughly rinsed under running cold water. Further, a neat deep incision is made along its entire back, which allows you to remove the black strip - the intestine with waste.
Step 2
To prevent the shrimp from curling inward, several transverse cuts should be made on its "belly". It is especially convenient to handle large tiger prawns in this way. Before immersion in the future batter, they must also be thoroughly rolled in flour. This must be done on both sides.
Step 3
To make batter, ice is added to cold water, and then flour. The mass must be mixed very carefully, without using a mixer and blender. It is best to do this with wooden Chinese chopsticks, without beating the liquid. In consistency, it should be like pancake dough.
Step 4
You will need to pour sunflower oil into the pan and put it to warm up. As soon as it boils, you can start cooking. Holding each shrimp by the tail, they should be dipped in turn, first in the batter, and then immersed in boiling oil. It is enough to fry it for about 40-50 seconds until golden brown.
Step 5
Due to the large temperature difference between the batter and butter, it will get a delicious appetizing crispy crust without the oil being absorbed into the shrimp itself. Served with soy sauce.
