A delightful twist on classic fried shrimp, this recipe offers a crispy and flavorful experience.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, egg, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, hot sauce, and cold water until smooth.
Ensure the batter is smooth and lump-free for even coating.
Cover the batter and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling the batter helps it adhere better to the shrimp during frying.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dry shrimp ensures the batter sticks well and fries evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer to 350°F.
Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for consistent frying.
Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
Fry the shrimp until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels.
Allow excess oil to drain for a crispier texture.
Serve the shrimp hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley or a wedge of lemon for added flavor.
