Directions
Shell shrimp, leaving tail shells on.
Make a small incision along spines.
Remove black spinal cord from shrimp.
In a bowl, combine flour, salt, corn oil and water. Stir in ginger, garlic and chili sauce and beat well. Stiffly whisk egg white, then gently fold into batter until evenly combined.
Half fill a deep-fat fryer or saucepan with oil; heat to 375℉ (190℃). or until a ½ inch cube of day-old bread browns in 40 seconds.
Hold each shrimp by its tail and dip into batter, then lower into hot oil.
Fry 3 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels.
Garnish with green onion daisy and bell pepper strips and serve hot.
