Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp (26/30 count)

Seal the edge with a very small amount of water on your finger if necessary.
  • Heat oil in a deep pot over medium heat to 350°F. Fry shrimp in batches until golden brown and shrimp is cooked through (145°F). Drain on paper towel-lined plate. Serve with sweet and sour sauce for dipping.

Tips:

  • Ensure your shrimp are deveined and properly cleaned before cooking.
  • To achieve a restaurant-style crispy coating, double-coat the shrimp in the cornstarch mixture.
  • Use high-quality cooking oil to prevent burning and ensure a golden-brown finish.
  • Fry the shrimp in small batches to maintain a consistent temperature and avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • To prepare a flavorful and spicy sauce, use fresh ginger, garlic, and chili peppers. Adjust the amount of chili peppers based on your desired spice level.
  • When combining the sauce ingredients, gradually add the cornstarch mixture to avoid lumps. Ensure the sauce thickens to your preferred consistency.
  • Serve the firecracker shrimp immediately, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, for the best taste and texture.
