For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the shrimp mixture. Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for optimal crispness without burning. If you don't have dry sherry, you can substitute with rice wine or omit it altogether. For a lighter option, consider baking the shrimp toast instead of deep-frying. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
