For the shrimp: dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour and then dip it in a bowl of water. Dredge it once again in the flour. Repeat with all the shrimps.

In a frying pan, heat the oil and carefully drop the shrimp in to deep fry until golden. Remove on paper towels.

Serve on a platter accompanied with the sweet and sour sauce.
