Fantail Shrimp [0000752]

Experience the delightful crunch and savory flavors of these gluten-free Chinese fantail shrimp.

Ingredients:

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail on)
1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold water
Cooking oil, for frying
Sweet chili sauce or plum sauce, for dipping
Optional: chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients well.

Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. The batter should have a slightly thick consistency.

Preheat your cooking oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep skillet or frying pan.

Hold each shrimp by the tail and dip it into the batter, ensuring it's coated evenly.

Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, one at a time. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan; fry the shrimp in batches if needed.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried fantail shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Optional: While the shrimp are still warm, sprinkle them with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.

Serve the crispy gluten-free Chinese fantail shrimp with sweet chili sauce or plum sauce for dipping.

Enjoy the delightful crunch and savory taste of these gluten-free fantail shrimp as a scrumptious appetizer or part of your Chinese-inspired meal.
