Yield serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup ice water
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted fat or vegetable oil
2 pounds uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl stir together the flour, sugar, and salt. Beat in the ice water, egg, and 2 tablespoons fat or oil. Dry the shrimp thoroughly. Heat the oil for deep frying in a large, heavy pot until it registers 375 degrees. Holding the shrimp by the tails, dip them in batter. Carefully place them in the pot and fry until golden brown. Do not overcook; just a few minutes does the trick. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
