Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp & Skewers
- 300g shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Wooden skewers or sticks
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
Frying
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare shrimp skewers: Insert wooden skewers into the shrimp, placing about 2-3 shrimp on each skewer evenly to ensure balanced cooking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the egg, milk, and Alfredo sauce together until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Form batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture while stirring continuously, to create a thick and creamy batter suitable for coating the shrimp skewers.
- Heat oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large pot and heat it to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the temperature is steady for optimal frying results.
- Coat shrimp skewers: Dip each shrimp skewer into the batter, making sure they are evenly and fully coated to create a crispy crust upon frying.
- Fry until golden: Carefully place the battered shrimp skewers into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the batter turns golden brown and crispy, turning as needed for even cooking.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fried shrimp sticks and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your preferred dipping sauce to enjoy.
Notes
- You can adjust the number of shrimp per skewer based on size and preference.
- Maintain oil temperature to avoid greasy or undercooked coating.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- If Alfredo sauce is too thick, thin slightly with milk before mixing into batter.
- Use fresh shrimp to enhance taste and texture.
