Tips for Making Crispy and Flavorful Shrimp Puffs:

- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. - Devein and clean the shrimp properly to remove any impurities. - Use a food processor to mince the shrimp finely. This will help create a smooth and consistent batter. - Add aromatics like garlic, ginger, and green onions to the shrimp mixture for extra flavor. - Use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch in the batter. This will help create a crispy exterior and a tender interior. - Make sure the batter is the right consistency. It should be thick enough to coat the shrimp but not too thick that it's difficult to stir. - Heat the oil to the right temperature before frying the shrimp puffs. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle but not smoking. - Fry the shrimp puffs in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together. - Drain the shrimp puffs on paper towels to remove excess oil. - Serve the shrimp puffs hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
