How to Make Batter For Sweet And Sour Shrimp

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all batter ingredients until just combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax, resulting in a crispier coating.
  2. Gently dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently shake off any excess batter to avoid overly thick, heavy coating.
  3. Heat your oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the battered shrimp to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  5. To keep the shrimp warm and crispy, place them in a 200°F (95°C) oven until ready to serve.
