- Fry for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Select fresh juicy shrimps. Pat dry shrimps completely to get golden brown fried shrimps. Also removing water will prevent oil from spluttering from hot oil. Do not overcook shrimp. Use one hand to coat shrimp in liquid marinade and the other hand to coat in dry marinade. No more cakey hands! Fry shrimp in batches, do not crowd the pan. To add more flavor to the dish, season the cornstarch with garlic powder, and smoked paprika along with salt and pepper. The shrimp sauce can be packed with more flavors if you like. Add garlic powder and honey along with Thai sweet chili sauce and Sriracha.
