Note

Ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined before battering.

Use cold beer for the batter to help achieve a crispier texture.

Do not overcrowd the fryer to maintain oil temperature.

Serve immediately after plating to preserve the crunchiness of the shrimp.

Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Adjust sugar in the sauce to taste depending on the acidity of the pineapple juice.
