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

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

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.

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