CHINESE BATTER FRIED SHRIMP

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 30 servings

* 1/2 cup flour
* 1/3 cup Argo® or Kingsford’s® Corn Starch
* 1/2 to 2/3 cup cold water
* 1 teaspoon soy sauce
* 2 1/2 cups (about) Mazola® Oil
* 2 teaspoons Argo® Baking Powder
* 1 lb large shrimp, shelled and deveined

1. Combine flour and corn starch in a medium bowl. Gradually stir in 1/2 cup water and soy sauce until smooth. Stir in additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until batter is just thick enough to coat shrimp (about the consistency of very heavy cream).


2. Pour oil into 2-quart saucepan, filling no more than 1/3 full. Heat over medium heat to 350°F.


3. Stir 1 tablespoon of the hot oil into batter. Stir in baking powder.


4. Coat shrimp with batter. Carefully add shrimp, a few at a time to hot oil; fry 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
