Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings 2 cups vegetable oil for frying 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 pinch salt 1 cup water 1 large egg yolk 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on Directions Gather all ingredients. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Whisk flour, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Pour water and egg yolk into the well and mix just until moistened; batter will be lumpy. Stir in egg whites. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Dip one shrimp at a time into batter to coat; do not batter tails. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios When three shrimp have been battered, carefully place them into the deep fryer and fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp, battering a few at a time while the previous batch is cooking.
