Fried Shrimp

It's been awhile I fried any shrimp for dinner..I remember my mom used to make fried prawn for us whenever there is a festival or prayer..Mostly the shrimp we bought here are imported from South America or Asia.I wonder why the shrimp sold here in NY doesn't come from Southeast U.S.Well,we are lucky if we can get fresh farmed shrimp.Since I'm a shrimp lover,I doesn't really care whether it's farmed or wild shrimp,as long as it's taste great and fresh!

Ingredients:
1 lb shrimp,shelled and deveined
1/4 cup self-raising flour
1/2 cup rice flour
1 egg
1 tbsp ground white pepper powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup water or less
enough oil for frying


Method:
1:Mix self raising flour and rice flour in a medium bowl.Add in water little by little,egg ,baking soda,ground pepper and salt.Beat all the ingredients well until well combine.The texture should be googy and thick.If the batter is too watery,add 2 tbsp rice flour .Sieve the batter before used.
2:Heat fryer or pan with oil at medium heat,about 325 F..Dip clean shrimp into the batter before place in the fryer.Do not overcrowd the fryer or pan.
3:Fry coated shrimp for about 3-4 minutes or until floated on the surface .Remove cooked shrimp from fryer to a paper towel-lined tray or plate to absorb the oil.Do not over fry shrimp,it's intend to get chewy.
4:Serve fried shrimp warm with tartar sauce or mayo..
