How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- Freshly caught shrimp will have a translucent shell, straight shape, and the legs and head attached firmly to the body.
- Additionally, fresh shrimp will feel firm when pressed, with a characteristic seafood smell, not a rotten or spoiled smell.
- Do not buy shrimp that are curved, soft, with heads detached from the body, or have a foul smell, as these are shrimp that have been stored for a long time and are not fresh.
Where to buy flour?
- Flour is sold at grocery stores, markets, supermarkets,… or can be purchased online on e-commerce sites like TasteVN.
- When buying flour, be sure to check the origin, expiration date,… to avoid purchasing low-quality products.
How to make Fried Shrimp with Flour
-
Prepare the ingredients
Shrimp purchased should have the heads cut off, shells removed, and the back veins cleaned while keeping the tails intact, then rinse thoroughly with diluted salt water and let drain.
Crack the chicken eggs into a bowl, and use chopsticks to beat the eggs until well mixed.
Add all the flour and cornstarch into the same bowl and mix well with a spoon.
-
Marinate the shrimp
Put the shrimp into a bowl, mix well with the seasoning mixture including: 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/3 teaspoon of ground pepper. Marinate for about 10 minutes for the shrimp to absorb the spices.
-
Coat the shrimp with flour
Pick up the shrimp and dip it in a layer of egg, then coat the shrimp with flour to cover it completely. Do the same until all the ingredients are used up.
-
Fry the shrimp
Place a pan on the stove, add 400ml of cooking oil, wait for the oil to heat up and then add the shrimp that has been coated in flour to fry over medium heat. At first, don’t rush to stir the shrimp as it will cause the flour to fall off; when the shrimp turns firm, flip it over to fry both sides until golden. Remove the shrimp and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the oil.
