Oriental Ginger Shrimp

Ingredients

8 unshelled shrimp
65 gr all purpose flour
1 gr salt
5 ml corn oil
60 ml water
1 ginger root
1 garlic clove
5 ml chili sauce
1 egg
1 green onion daisy

Instructions

Red bell pepper strips Shell shrimp, leaving tail shells on. Make a small incision along spines. Remove black spinal cord from shrimp. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, corn oil and water. Stir in ginger, garlic and chili sauce and beat well. Stiffly whisk egg white, then gently fold into batter until evenly combined. Half fill a deep-fat fryer or saucepan with oil; heat to 375'F. (190'C.) or until a 1 cm cube of day-old bread browns in 40 seconds. Hold each shrimp by its tail and dip into batter, then lower into hot oil. Fry 3 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Garnish with green onion daisy and bell pepper strips and serve hot.
