How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- Fresh shrimp usually have their heads firmly attached to their bodies, with hard, transparent shells that allow you to see inside.
- Prefer to choose shrimp that smell of the sea, with their legs arranged evenly inward.
- Absolutely do not choose shrimp with legs spread outward, and if touched, feel slimy and have an unusual smell.
How to choose fresh and delicious potatoes
- Good potatoes usually have bright yellow skin, smooth and shiny surfaces, making them tasty, sweet, and nutritious when eaten.
- Preferably choose potatoes that have a lot of dirt on the surface, and feel firm and heavy when touched.
- Do not buy sprouted potatoes as they can easily cause poisoning and are not tasty.
How to make Fried Shrimp with Potatoes
-
Prepare the ingredients
After purchasing the shrimp, peel off the shell and head but keep the tail so that when fried, the tail spreads out beautifully. Next, use a knife to make a cut along the shrimp’s back to remove the black vein, rinse the shrimp with diluted salt water, then drain in a basket.
Peel the potatoes, wash them clean, and slice them thinly.
-
Marinate the shrimp
To marinate the shrimp, place the shrimp in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and mix well. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
-
Boil and mix the potato flour
Put a pot of water on the stove, wait for the water to boil, then add the potatoes with a little salt and boil for about 20 – 25 minutes. Once the potatoes are soft, turn off the stove, take them out to cool, and use a spoon to mash this mixture until smooth.
Add 50g of corn starch and season with 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, mix well until the mixture becomes smooth and sticky.
-
Potato wrapping
Divide the mixed potato dough into small round pieces, press them flat, then place the marinated shrimp in the center. Wrap it so that the potato covers the shrimp evenly, hugging it tightly, leaving only the tail exposed.
Continue doing similarly until all the prepared ingredients are used up.
-
Fry the shrimp
Next, place another pan on the stove, add 400ml of cooking oil, wait for the oil to heat up, then carefully add the shrimp to fry over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly from the inside out.
After about 5 minutes, when the potatoes gradually turn a golden color, remove them. Line a plate with paper towels to absorb the oil, then place the fried potato shrimp on top.

Final Product
The fried shrimp dish is appealing due to the sweetness of the shrimp combined with the rich flavor of the fried potatoes, paired with mayonnaise, chili sauce, and ketchup will be fantastic. Let’s get cooking and try it out!
