Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp:
- Clean and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact for easy handling.

Mix the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped green onions, egg, white pepper, salt, cornstarch, and enough flour to create a thick, smooth batter.
-
Coat the Shrimp:
- Add the prepared shrimp to the batter.
- Gently toss to ensure each shrimp is evenly coated.
-
Heat the Oil:
- Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Wait until the oil reaches frying temperature (about 350°F/175°C).
-
Fry the Shrimp:
- Carefully drop the batter-coated shrimp into the hot oil in small batches.
- Fry each piece for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil's temperature.
-
Drain and Serve:

- Serve hot, garnished with extra chopped scallions for a fresh and vibrant finish.
