👩🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the shrimp:

   • Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on.

   • Marinate with cooking wine, salt, and crushed black pepper for about 10–15 minutes.

2. Make the batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine potato starch, corn starch, flour, baking powder, oil, water, and egg whites.

   • Stir until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be thick enough to coat the shrimp.

3. Coat the shrimp:

   • Dip each marinated shrimp into the batter, ensuring a full and even coating.

4. Fry:

   • Heat oil in a deep pan to 170–180°C (340–355°F).

   • Gently lower the coated shrimp into the hot oil.

   • Fry until golden brown and puffed up, about 2–3 minutes per side.

5. Season and serve:

   • Drain the shrimp on paper towels.

   • Sprinkle with extra salt, pepper, and a bit of chili powder for a spicy kick.

   • Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, airy shell with juicy shrimp inside.
