Fried shrimp

Overview

I have always loved eating shrimps. I always bought them frozen in the past, but I always had doubts while eating them. I really didn’t know how long they had been frozen, and the texture was not so tender anymore. Later, I just bought live shrimps and peeled them myself. However, my mother was not so courageous, so she bought them alive and threw them in the freezer together with the bag, and then defrosted and peeled the shrimps the next day. I often make this fried shrimp, but I always feel that there is something missing in the taste. When I was making the fried batter that day, I suddenly had a sudden idea and added cumin barbecue seasoning. It was particularly delicious and my family unanimously praised it. This time when I was making the fried batter, I found that the cumin flavor was gone, so I looked for it. The honey barbecue sauce was added, and some ground cumin was added. Hey, I didn’t expect that the taste would be similar to the last time. It was still so delicious. There will definitely be another delicacy on the table from now on. Although deep-fried is not too healthy, it is not impossible to eat it once in a while, right?

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Ingredients: 275 grams of frozen prawns, 1 gram of salt, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, 2 slices of ginger, half a tablespoon of honey barbecue sauce. Fried batter: 1 egg, 60 grams of flour, 62 grams of water, 4 grams of vegetable oil, 2 grams of salt, half a tablespoon of ground cumin, half a tablespoon of honey barbecue sauce, and 0.4 grams of baking powder. Method: Prepare the main ingredients and defrost the shrimp in advance

   

2. 2 Remove heads, shells, and sand from the shrimps, peel off the shrimps, rinse them clean, cut the large ones in half, and do not cut the small ones

   

3. 3 Put the shrimps into a plate, add cooking wine, ginger and salt to remove the fishy smell and marinate for 10 minutes

   

4. 4 Pour the flour into a large bowl, add the eggs, barbecue ingredients, salt, and ground cumin, and mix it first (mix the flour and eggs first to prevent lumps in the batter)

   

5. 5 Add water to the flour and mix well. Add baking powder and vegetable oil and mix well. The final state is to lift the batter with chopsticks and slowly lower it. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes

   

6. 6 Add a little more vegetable oil to the pot and heat it up over high heat. Use chopsticks to put the shrimps into the fried batter bowl and mix well

   

7. 7 When the oil temperature in the pot reaches this point: use chopsticks to drop a drop of batter and it will immediately float. At this time, immediately turn to medium heat. Cover the shrimps with fried batter and put them into the oil pot one by one. Do not turn them over. When the shrimps harden and turn yellow on one side, turn over and fry the other side

   

8. 8 When both sides are golden brown, remove from the pan and serve. Since the fried batter and shrimp have been seasoned in advance, there is no need to dip in any seasonings. It tastes extremely delicious!

   

9. 9 This is the fried batter left over from fried shrimps. I fried it too (the method is to pour the chunks into the pot directly from the bowl of fried shrimp). It is very delicious and not wasted. You can try it.
