How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh tiger shrimp
- You should choose live tiger shrimp with a transparent outer shell that still has a hint of sea smell, not fishy.
- Fresh tiger shrimp that have not been chemically injected will have a slightly curved body, firm flesh but not unusually plump. The shell joints on the shrimp’s body should be flexible, not separated, and the head and body of the shrimp should stick closely together.
- Do not choose shrimp that are slimy, with a body that has curled into a circle and is no longer straight. When pressing gently with your finger and moving over the shrimp’s shell, it feels bumpy as if there are grains in the shell.
Prepare the tiger shrimp
After buying the shrimp to eliminate the fishy smell, remove the head, shell, legs, and the shrimp vein. Soak the shrimp in diluted salt water for 2 – 3 minutes, then rinse with clean water and drain.
Next, boil 500ml of water and blanch the shrimp for about 30 seconds, then remove.
Mash the potatoes
After boiling the potatoes until cooked, place them in a bowl and use a fork to mash them finely.
Add 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning, 1/4 tablespoon of pepper, 2 tablespoons of tapioca flour, and 1 tablespoon of lion powder to the mashed potatoes, mixing well for the spices to soak into the potatoes.
Make shrimp wrapped in potatoes
Take a sufficient amount of potatoes, roll them into balls, flatten them and wrap the shrimp so that the potatoes completely cover the shrimp body, leaving only the shrimp tail exposed.
Next, you roll the shrimp wrapped in potatoes in bowls containing flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs until the shrimp is evenly coated in all layers.
Fry the shrimp wrapped in potatoes
Add 200ml of cooking oil to the pan, wait until the oil is hot, then add the shrimp wrapped in potatoes that have been evenly coated, frying over medium heat for about 4 – 5 minutes until the shrimp wrapped in potatoes are golden and fragrant, then turn off the heat.
Place on a plate with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Final product
Crispy potato-wrapped shrimp after frying will have the aroma of potatoes. When eaten, it has a wonderful flavor, with the crunchiness, aroma, and richness of the batter and egg combined with the soft, sweet, and chewy taste of the potato and shrimp.
Eating with chili sauce and ketchup makes it even better, doesn’t it? This is sure to be a dish that the kids at home will love!

Prepare Ingredients
Shrimp you buy should be cleaned, remove the shrimp head and the shrimp vein, peel the shrimp but leave the tail intact.
Potatoes you buy should be peeled, washed clean, and cut into small pieces.
-
Steam Potatoes
After the potatoes have been cleaned, place the prepared potatoes into a bowl or plate and steam them until cooked.
When the potatoes are cooked, use a fork to mash them until smooth, then add 2 tablespoons of tapioca flour and 1 tablespoon of wheat flour and mix well until the potatoes and flour are combined into a dough.
-
Wrap the shrimp
For this step, you should use your hands to shape it, making it easier to form, so you need to wash your hands beforehand or wear gloves while doing it.
You take a sufficient amount of potato in your hand, shape it into a flat round shape, then place the shrimp in the middle and use your hands to mold the potato around the shrimp so that it forms a round shape with the tail sticking out, looking very appealing. You do this until you run out of shrimp and potatoes.
-
Fry the shrimp wrapped in potatoes
Before frying, prepare a plate of crispy flour, a plate of breadcrumbs, and a plate of beaten eggs. While coating the flour, you should prepare a pan of oil so that when you finish, you can immediately put it in the frying pan.
First, roll the shrimp wrapped in potatoes through a layer of crispy flour, then into a layer of egg, and finally into a layer of breadcrumbs. Once the coating is even, put it into hot oil to fry.
You do the same with the remaining pieces, frying the shrimp in hot oil until they turn golden and crispy.
-
Final Product
The potato-wrapped shrimp after frying has a golden crispy exterior, and the shrimp tail sticking out is fried to a very beautiful translucent color. The shape of the potato-wrapped shrimp also makes you more fond of this dish. You should dip the potato-wrapped shrimp in chili sauce and mayonnaise to enhance the flavor of the dish.
