1

Do not crowd the shrimp while frying or they won't brown properly. Fry in multiple batches if required.

2

Cook on high flame for about 1 minute on each side for large shrimp. Change this depending on the size you're using.

3

Add extra oil while frying to make shrimp infused oil. This infused oil can then be added to stir fries, fried rice or noodles for an extra punch of flavour.

4

Cook the sauces on low flame to avoid burning and develop a deeper flavour.
