2 mins
While the oil is heating, in a medium bowl, gently toss the shrimp with salt and pepper to ensure even seasoning. (Approximately 2 minutes)
03 Step

3 mins
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, all-purpose flour, and baking powder until smooth. The batter should be light and lump-free. (Approximately 3 minutes)
04 Step

5 mins
Working in small batches (about 6-8 shrimp at a time), dredge each shrimp in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off before carefully lowering the shrimp into the hot oil. (Approximately 5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
7 mins
Fry the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the saucepan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy shrimp. (Approximately 5-10 minutes)
06 Step

2 mins
Transfer the fried shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (Approximately 2 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
13 mins
Repeat the dredging and frying process with the remaining shrimp. (Approximately 10-15 minutes)
08 Step

Serve immediately. Garnish with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
For an extra crispy coating, try adding a tablespoon of cornstarch to the flour mixture.
Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the shrimp, or they will absorb too much oil.
Don't overcrowd the pan; fry the shrimp in batches to maintain the oil temperature.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
