Prepare the shrimp
When you buy shrimp, wash it thoroughly, peel off the shell, remove the head, and use a toothpick to pull out the intestinal vein.
Then, place the cleaned shrimp in a bowl. Marinate the shrimp with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and mix the ingredients well.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder (or substitute with 1 teaspoon of minced garlic) into the bowl of shrimp. Mix again and marinate for 15 minutes for the shrimp to absorb the seasoning.
Tip: Remember to leave the shrimp tails on, so the dish looks more appealing when fried.
-
Make the batter
Gradually add 100g of wheat flour and 30g of cornstarch into a bowl. Use a whisk to mix the dry flour mixture thoroughly.
Next, while stirring the flour, slowly add 120ml of sparkling mineral water (or soda) to the mixture. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Then, beat one egg and strain it through a strainer into the flour mixture, mix well, and let the batter rest for about 10 – 15 minutes.
Tip: Soda added to the batter will help the fried dish remain crispy and fluffy for longer.
-
Dip the batter and fry the shrimp
You dip each shrimp in the flour mixture one by one. Then roll the shrimp in the pounded rice, using your hands to gently press so that the rice sticks to the shrimp.
Continue doing this until all the shrimp are coated.
Place a pan on the stove, fill it with oil. Heat the oil on high heat.
When the oil starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium and add the shrimp to fry, stirring evenly until the shrimp are cooked through and the rice coating starts to turn golden, then take the shrimp out onto a tray lined with absorbent paper, and let it sit for about 2 – 3 minutes to drain the oil.

Finished product
Shrimp plate with the eye-catching green color of flat rice flakes, fragrant and evenly fried golden. Taking a bite will let you feel the crispy sound in your mouth.
The sweet and rich flavor of the rice flakes blends with the shrimp meat that is seasoned intensely. To make the dish more appealing, prepare an additional bowl of chili sauce mixed with mayonnaise sauce!

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Shrimp
- Fresh and delicious shrimp have clear, bright shells. Do not choose shrimp that have turned cloudy, with black legs or heads, as these are old and not fresh.
- Fresh and delicious shrimp are straight, with tails curled together. The head and legs should be firmly attached to the body.
- Shrimp that have lost their heads or have curved bodies are spoiled and should not be purchased.
- If you hold the shrimp and it feels firm, it is fresh; if it is soft and mushy, it is spoiled.
- Fresh shrimp have the characteristic smell of seafood, not a foul or spoiled odor.

Quick way to remove shrimp veins
Method 1: To quickly remove shrimp veins, you should make a cut along the back of the shrimp and then use the pointed end of a skewer to pull out the shrimp vein for removal.
Method 2: Alternatively, you can bend the head of the shrimp and gently squeeze from the tail to expose the black vein, then hold the shrimp vein and pull gently to remove it from the shrimp.
How to choose and buy flat rice flakes
- Choose those grains that have a light green color, not yellowish or the vibrant green of chemicals.
