Prep time 20 min
Ingredients 　Serves 4

12 shrimp, thawed if frozen


salt for rinsing shrimp
 (about 1tsp)

salt and pepper


For breading:

1/2cup Flour (or Tempura flour)


1 to 2 eggs, beaten


1 cup Bread crumbs


1 cups vegetable oil, for deep-frying


lemon wedges
 (small lime is fine)

Directions

1. Peel the shrimp, leaving the tail intact. Rub with salt, and rinse in cold water to get rid of the fishy smell.

2. Dry the surface of the shrimp, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.


3. Batter in this order: flour (Tempura flour), beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.

4. Fry the shrimp in 170 degree Celsius oil until golden brown.

5. Then arrange on a plate, along with the lemon wedges.

It's fine to use ordinary flour for the batter, but if you can find and use tempura flour for this recipe, it'll produce a crispier end result. Dip in to the mayonnaise or soy sauce.
