Title: SHRIMP WITH CHILI & GARLIC
Categories: Fish, Chinese
Yield: 4 servings
--------------------------BATTER--------------------------
4 tb Cornstarch
1/4 c Flour
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 c Water
1/2 ts Salt
1 Egg
1 Egg white
2 tb Salt
1 1/2 lb Shrimp; peeled and deveined
2 c Peanut oil, for deep-frying
---------------------------SAUCE---------------------------
1 1/2 tb Peanut oil
5 Dried chiles; halved
3 tb Finely sliced garlic
1 ts Salt
3 tb Sugar
1 ts White rice vinegar
1/2 c Water
1 ts Cornstarch; mixed with
1 ts Water
MIX THE BATTER INGREDIENTS in a medium-sized bowl
until thick and smooth. Let the batter sit, covered,
for at least 30 minutes. Combine shrimp and batter.
Heat a wok or large deep skillet until hot and add the
oil for frying. When the oil is barely smoking,
deep-fry the shrimp for 2 minutes or until the batter
is just firm. You should do this in several batches.
Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on paper
towels. Heat a small saucepan and when hot, add the
oil, dried chiles and garlic. Stir for 30 seconds. Add
remaining sauce ingredients and simmer for 2 minutes.
Keep warm. Reheat the oil in the wok until it is very
hot, but not smoking. Deep-fry the shrimp again until
they are golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove and
drain, place on a warm platter, drizzle with the sauce
and serve immediately.
