How to Prepare Fried Shrimp
-
Prepare the Ingredients
After buying shrimp, use a knife to cut off the head, peel the shell, clean the black vein on the back, and keep the shrimp tail.
Then, wash the shrimp with diluted salt water and rinse with clean water several times and let it drain.
-
Mixing the batter
First, add 100g crispy flour into a bowl, then crack an egg into it and add 70ml of water, using a chopsticks to mix well.
After that, season with 1/2 spoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/2 spoon of seasoning powder, and 1/2 spoon of ground pepper, and continue to stir until the batter is smooth, not too thick and not too thin.
-
Coating with flour
You dip the shrimp that has been prepped in the mixture of flour for frying, then roll it in the layer of panko breadcrumbs and place the shrimp on a plate.
Repeat similar steps until all the shrimp are coated.
-
Fry the shrimp
Place a pan on the stove, add 400ml of cooking oil and heat until the oil is hot, then add the shrimp to fry over medium heat.
After about 2 – 3 minutes, when the shrimp starts to firm up, turn the shrimp to ensure they are golden on both sides, then remove them to a plate lined with paper towels.
Tip: When you first add the shrimp to fry, do not rush to stir them, as this will cause the coating to fall off.

How to Prepare Fried Shrimp with Shell
-
Prepare and Marinate Shrimp
After buying the shrimp, wash them thoroughly, then peel the shell of the shrimp’s body, leaving the shell at the head and tail for a better appearance when frying.
To remove the roe from the shrimp, cut in the middle of the joint between the head and the body, then pull out the black thread from the shrimp’s body.
After preparation, add 1 spoon of seasoning, 1 spoon of monosodium glutamate, and a little ground pepper to the shrimp and mix well to let the shrimp absorb the flavors.
Then add the egg yolk and mix well.
-
Mixing the batter
You add 35g of tapioca flour, 3 teaspoons of fat powder, 3 teaspoons of lion powder, 3 teaspoons of corn flour, and 1 tablespoon of crispy frying flour into a bowl and mix well.
Continue adding water to the flour and stir well until the batter can just flow down. Do not add too much water, as it will thin the batter and the shrimp will not stick.
After mixing the batter, add it to the marinated shrimp and mix so that the batter evenly coats the shrimp.
-
Dipping batter and frying shrimp
To dip shrimp in batter, use two gloves: one hand to take the shrimp and mix it with the batter, and the other hand to coat it with breadcrumbs.
Take the shrimp out of the wet batter, place it into the breadcrumbs, and remember to use the breadcrumbs to coat the shrimp so that the breadcrumbs stick to the shrimp and dry before taking it out!
After coating with breadcrumbs, place the shrimp into a pan of hot oil over low heat. After adding all the shrimp, turn the heat to medium.
Fry the shrimp in oil over medium heat until the breadcrumbs harden, then turn the shrimp to ensure they are evenly golden. Once the shrimp are uniformly golden brown, they are cooked, and you can remove them using a sieve to drain the oil, and you’re done.
-
Final Product
The deep-fried shrimp retains both the shell and tail, looking incredibly appealing. Biting into it is crunchy with flavorful, fresh shrimp meat—truly wonderful!
You can pair it with some raw vegetables, cucumber, tomato along with a bowl of chili sauce, ketchup to enhance the flavor of the dish!

How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- You should choose fresh shrimp with a transparent shell that still has a slight smell of seawater, not a fishy smell. Avoid shrimp with dark spots or uneven colors.
- Gently press your finger and move it over the shrimp’s shell; if it feels bumpy like there are grains in the shell or if the shrimp is slimy, do not buy it.
- Fresh shrimp usually have their tails curled together. If the tail is spread out, it means the shrimp has been injected with chemicals or water to make it look plump.
- Fresh shrimp generally have their legs firmly attached to the body, so if you notice the legs have turned black, you should not buy them. Additionally, if the legs are no longer firmly attached to the body, do not buy them at all, as the shrimp is no longer fresh.
Quick tips for removing the black vein on shrimp’s back
- Method 1: You count backward from the shrimp’s tail to the second groove connecting the two segments of the shrimp shell, insert a toothpick through this position and gently pull the black vein to remove it.
- Method 2: Without needing to cut the shrimp’s back with a knife, you can use a toothpick to pry out the head of the shrimp’s body, and you will see the black thread. Gently pull this black thread out with your hand, and the shrimp will be clean.
Where to buy various types of flour
- You can buy all the types of flour mentioned in the article, such as crispy frying flour, breaded flour,… at markets, supermarkets, stores selling baking ingredients, and the TasteVN supermarket chain.
