Ingredients
- 1 pound Jumbo Shrimp
- Oil, For Frying
- 3-58 ounces, weight Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1 whole Egg Yolk
- 13 tablespoons, 1- 1/2 teaspoons, 1- 1/4 pinches Ice Water
- 2 Ice Cubes
- Cornstarch, For Dusting
Method
- To prepare shrimp, snip the inside of the curled edge to make them lay flat.
- (Note: I did this, but they curled anyway when frying.
- I might not have made big enough slits.)
- Heat oil to 340 degrees F in a deep pot.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.
- In separate bowl, beat egg yolk gently.
- Add ice water and ice cubes.
- Pour into flour mixture and stir 10 times around the bowl.
- It will not be completely mixed in, and there will be lots of lumps, but that is ok.
- This is what makes it so light and airy.
- Sift corn starch over the top of the shrimp.
- Dip shrimp into the batter, make sure it is completely coated.
- Drop in oil and cook for 2-3 minutes depending on its size.
- Drain on paper towel before serving.
