250 ml  Ice cold water

Bread Crumbs

Instructions for Batter:

Put the batter in the chiller overnight

1. Put the flour into a mixing bowl

2. Put a hole in the middle and start pouring water little by little and mix with single stroke

3. Add egg yolk after all flour are mixed

Putting the batter overnight will ensure that it will remain light, crisp and fluffy when you apply it the next day to the shrimp.

Next day:

Prepare the marinate:

½ tsp    Sugar

½ tsp    Pepper

1           Egg White

1 8g.     MAGGI Magic Sarap

3. Clean the tail using the knife

4. Devein shrimp (removal of the gastrointestinal tract of a shrimp)

5. Make two or three incisions in the stomach sides of the shrimps to make it straight

it's about 360 F degree. If the batter goes halfway to the bottom and comes up, it's about 340F
