How to make Fried Shrimp
-
Prepare Ingredients
Remove the shrimp heads, peel the shells, remove the black vein on the back, and keep the tails.
Then, wash the shrimp with diluted saltwater, rinse with fresh water a few more times, and drain.
-
Mix the batter
First, add 100gr all-purpose flour to a bowl, then crack in the egg and add 70ml of water. Whisk well.
Then, season with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and continue whisking until the batter is smooth, not too thick or too thin.
-
Coat the shrimp
Dip the prepared shrimp into the batter, then coat with breadcrumbs and place them on a plate.
Repeat until all the shrimp are coated.
-
Fry the shrimp
Heat a pan on the stove, add 400ml of cooking oil and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the shrimp and fry over medium heat.
After about 2-3 minutes, when the shrimp start to firm up, turn them over so they cook evenly on both sides. Then, remove and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Tip: Don’t rush to turn the shrimp over as soon as you put them in the oil, as this will cause the breading to fall off.

Finished Product
The finished fried shrimp have a beautiful appearance that is hard to resist. When you bite into them, you’ll experience the crispy batter blending with the sweet, fresh shrimp, soaked in spices. For a richer flavor, you can dip them in sauce!

How to Make Whole Shell Fried Shrimp
-
Prepare and Marinate Shrimp
Wash the shrimp, then peel the body shell, leaving the shell on the head and tail for a more visually appealing presentation.
To remove the shrimp head’s content, cut between the head and body and pull out the black vein.
After prepping, marinate the shrimp with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and some ground pepper. Mix well.
Add the egg yolk and mix well.
-
Mix the batter
Combine 35g tapioca starch, 3 teaspoons of batter mix, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 3 teaspoons of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour in a bowl. Mix well.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients and stir until the batter is just pourable. Avoid adding too much water, as the batter should be thick enough to coat the shrimp.
Add the marinated shrimp to the batter and mix to coat evenly.
-
Coat and Fry the Shrimp
Use two gloves: one to handle the shrimp in the batter, the other to coat them in breadcrumbs.
Remove the shrimp from the wet batter and dredge them in the breadcrumbs. Ensure they are fully coated and dry before removing them from the breadcrumbs.
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil over low heat. Once all the shrimp are in, increase the heat to medium.
Deep-fry the shrimp over medium heat until the breadcrumbs are crispy. Turn them over to ensure even cooking. When golden brown, the shrimp are done. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.
-
Finished Product
The whole shell fried shrimp look fantastic with their intact shells and tails. The crispy exterior gives way to flavorful, succulent shrimp. Delicious!
Serve with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, chili sauce, and mayonnaise for an even more enjoyable experience.

How to make Coconut Crusted Fried Shrimp

Prepare the shrimp
Marinate the shrimp with 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons of tapioca starch. Mix gently until the starch dissolves, being careful not to crush the shrimp.

Coat the shrimp
Place the desiccated coconut and breadcrumbs into two separate bowls. Coat each shrimp in the coconut, then in the breadcrumbs, creating a crust. Place the coated shrimp on a plate.
-
Fry the shrimp
Heat 300ml of cooking oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and fry until golden brown on both sides.
Remove the shrimp and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Tip: Use a deep pan to deep-fry the shrimp for better results and to save oil.

How to choose fresh and delicious shrimp
- Choose shrimp with translucent shells that still smell slightly of seawater, not fishy. Avoid shrimp with dark spots or uneven coloring.
- Gently press and move your finger on the shrimp’s shell. If it feels gritty or slimy, don’t buy it.
- Fresh shrimp usually have their tails tucked in. If the tail is fanned out, the shrimp may have been injected with chemicals or water to make them appear plumper.
- Fresh shrimp usually have legs firmly attached to the body. Avoid shrimp with black legs or loose legs, as they are not fresh.
Tips for quickly removing the black vein
- Method 1: Count back from the tail to the second groove between two shell segments. Insert a toothpick through this spot and gently pull out the black vein.
- Method 2: Without cutting the back, use a toothpick to pry open the top of the shrimp body where the black vein is visible. Gently pull it out.
Where to buy the ingredients
- You can buy all the ingredients like all-purpose flour, breadcrumbs,… at markets, supermarkets, baking supply stores, and Bach Hoa XANH.
