Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels; this helps the coating adhere better.
Aproximativ 2 min.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the cornstarch and all-purpose flour.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the egg.
Aproximativ 1 min.
4
Dip each shrimp first into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the flour and cornstarch mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Press the coating onto the shrimp gently to ensure it sticks well.
5
Place the coated shrimp on a wire rack or plate and let them rest for a few minutes while you prepare the oil.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: This resting period helps the coating set and prevents it from falling off during frying.
6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or deep pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 175°C (350°F).
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for crispy results.
7
Carefully fry the shrimp in batches, without overcrowding the pot, for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Aproximativ 6 min.
Nota bucătarului: Overcrowding the pot will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy shrimp.
8
Remove the fried shrimp with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Aproximativ 1 min.
9
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using) to make the seasoning blend.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
10
Immediately sprinkle the seasoning blend generously over the hot fried shrimp.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Seasoning the shrimp while hot helps the spices adhere better.
11
Garnish with sliced green onion and serve immediately.
