Ingredients
Method
- Pat the shrimp dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the batter adheres properly.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and very cold sparkling water. Gently add flour, leaving small lumps for a lighter batter.
- Add minced garlic, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper to the batter and mix lightly.
- Dip each shrimp into the batter, then coat immediately with panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Heat oil to 170°C in a deep pan or fryer.
- Fry shrimp in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges and optional fresh cilantro garnish.
Notes
Use very cold sparkling water to achieve a light, airy batter. Avoid overcrowding the pan during frying to maintain oil temperature and crispiness. Serve immediately for best texture.
