Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. Whisk flour, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl; make a well in the center.
  4. Pour water and egg yolk into the well and mix just until moistened; batter will be lumpy. Stir in egg whites.
  5. Dip one shrimp at a time into batter to coat; do not batter tails.
  6. When three shrimp have been battered, carefully place them into the deep fryer and fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  7. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp, battering a few at a time while the previous batch is cooking.
