INGREDIENTS
- 1lb. large tail-on shrimp (21-25 size)
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 2/3 cup corn starch (divided in half)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup milk
- 100 gr. blanched sliced almonds
- approx. 2 cups of sunflower oil
PREPARATION
- Peel shrimp if needed, leaving tails attached. Pat-dry and reserve.
- To make the batter, stir flour with 1/3 cup of corn starch and the salt. Stir in the milk until smooth. Add a little more if needed to have a thick but pourable batter.
- Pre-heat your oven to 175F to keep shrimp warm until serving (if making a large batch).
- Set up your dipping stations of your shrimp, then a bowl with your remaining 1/3 cup of corn starch, the bowl with the batter, a plate with the blanched almonds and finally a large plate lined with wax paper (so the shrimp do not stick).
- Heat your oil in a fryer or deep frying pan and heat the oil to a temp. of 350F.
- Fry your shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes (flip halfway) and reserve in your pre-heated oven until they are all done and you're ready to serve.
