Ingredients
-
Medium Peeled Shrimp, tail on
-
3/4 cup cornstarch or potato starch
-
2 tsp White pepper powder
-
1 tsp Salt
-
6 Fresh red chilis
-
6 cloves fresh garlic
-
2 Tbsp. smoked paprika
-
2 Tbsp Fried shallots
-
Cooking oil
Directions
Combine the washed shrimp, there's no need to dry them off, some water will help the starch stick. The amount required depends on the amount you're making.
Slice the fresh chilis and into a sieve add the fresh garlic and deep fry in oil at 375 f for about 15 seconds only.
Fry the shrimp in small batches @ 375 f, don't add to many at one time as they will stick together. When they're golden colored they are cooked.
Place the cooked shrimp into a large bowl and add the fried garlic and chilis, white pepper powder, some salt to taste, the smoked paprika and dried fried shallots, toss until well coated.
Serve hot.
