Ingredients
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound (16 to 20 pieces) large shrimp
- canola oil
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup ice cold water
- 1 egg
For dusting
- ¼ cup cornstarch
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift flour, cornstarch, and ¾ teaspoon salt. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Peel shrimps leaving the tail sections intact. Using a knife, make a shallow incision down the back of each shrimp. Pull out the intestinal tract and discard.
- In a bowl, combine shrimp, pepper, and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- In a large pan over medium heat, heat about 2 inches oil to 350 F.
- Drain shrimp well and pat dry.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg and ice-cold water until there are no streaks of egg white.
- Remove the bowl of flour mixture from the refrigerator when ready to use. Add the egg-water mixture to the flour and gently mix until just moistened, leaving a few lumps of flour.
- Holding by the tail, dip shrimp one at a time in cornstarch, shaking off excess, and then in the batter to fully coat.
- Drop into the hot oil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cook in batches as needed.
- With a slotted spoon, remove from the pan and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- Serve immediately with sweet and sour sauce or banana ketchup.

Notes
- If your kitchen is especially hot, I suggest placing your bowl of batter on a bowl of ice to keep it cold. You can also refrigerate the batter between batches.
