step by step
Method
- Step 1
Marinate the shrimp
- In a bowl, combine the shrimp with the ginger strips, cooking wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt and black pepper.
- Mix well so every shrimp is coated, then let sit to absorb the flavors.
- Step 2
Make the batter
- In another bowl, whisk the cornstarch, eggs and a pinch of black pepper into a smooth, thick batter.
- Step 3
Coat the shrimp
- Add the marinated shrimp to the batter and toss until evenly coated.
- Step 4
First fry
- Heat the frying oil to about 170 °C.
- Fry the shrimp in batches until lightly golden, then lift out with a slotted spoon.
- Step 5
Second fry for crispiness
- Raise the oil temperature to about 190 °C and fry the shrimp a second time until crispy and deep golden brown.
- Drain on a rack or paper towels.
- Step 6
Finish and serve
- Sprinkle the shrimp generously with chili powder and pepper salt.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
