Note

For best results, ensure the shrimp are thoroughly dried before coating to help the batter adhere properly.

Do not overcrowd the fryer when frying shrimp; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy coating.

To add the "Chili and Garlic" flavor profile mentioned in the title, toss the fried shrimp in a separate pan with sautéed minced garlic and chopped chili peppers immediately after frying.

Use fresh, large shrimp for the best texture. Frozen shrimp should be fully thawed and patted very dry.
