Crunchy Shrimp Chicharon Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

  • 450 g small to medium sized shrimps, peeled
  • ¾ cup flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp hot sauce
  • Chili powder and lime, optional
  • Canola oil

HOW TO COOK:

  1. Start by rinsing the shrimps under cold running water then pat dry.
  2. Combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder in a shallow plate then stir until well mixed.
  3. Combine the eggs, milk, and hot sauce in a large bowl then whisk until well blended and frothy.
  4. Pour about 3 inch deep Canola oil on a wide skillet then heat over medium heat.
  5. Lightly dredge the shrimps in the flour mixture and shake off the excess.
  6. Then, dip in egg mixture and then dredge again in flour mixture, patting down flour onto shrimps. Do this in batches.
  7. Gently add into hot oil one by one (to prevent clumping) and deep-fry, turning as needed, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  8. Remove from pan using a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  9. Season with chili powder and drizzle with lime juice, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
