Peel the shrimp and keep their tails on.

Sift together 100g of wheat flour, 50g of cornstarch, and 1 tsp of baking powder.

Mix the sifted ingredients together.

Add 150ml of water and mix to obtain a smooth batter.

Add ½ tsp of salt, some ground pepper, and 1 tbsp of oil to the batter and mix again.

Heat frying oil to about 170 degrees Celsius.

Dip a shrimp into the batter and gently place it into the hot oil.

Fry the shrimp for about 3 minutes, flipping them to ensure even browning.

Once golden brown, remove the shrimp and place them on paper towels.
