Ingredients:

1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1/2 cup corn flour
72g
1 egg
50g
1 cup water
250g
20 oz shrimps
570g
1/3 cup honey
80g
1 tbsp salsa sauce
16g
1 tsp tomato puree
5g
1 tsp sesame oil
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and corn flour.
- Crack the egg into the bowl and add the water.
- Whisk together until you achieve a smooth and consistent batter. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Shrimp:
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the batter adhere better.
3. Coat the Shrimp:
- Dip each shrimp into the prepared batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
4. Fry the Shrimp:
- In a deep pan or wok, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil with a bit of batter; it's ready if it sizzles and starts to brown in a few seconds.
- Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the shrimp until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat until all the shrimp are fried.
5. Prepare the Sweet Chili Honey Sauce:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, salsa sauce, tomato puree, and sesame oil. Mix well until fully blended.
6. Toss the Shrimp in the Sauce:
- In a large clean bowl, gently toss the fried shrimp with the prepared sweet chili honey sauce until they are well coated.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the coated shrimp to a serving platter.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure your shrimps are fresh and deveined before you start cooking.

- Adjust the amount of honey and salsa sauce based on your preferred level of sweetness and spiciness.

- Use cold water when making the batter; it ensures a crispier coating when frying.

- Fry shrimps in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which helps in achieving an even crispy texture.

- Use a paper towel to drain excess oil from the fried shrimps to keep them crisp.

With a blend of sweet, tangy, and crispy textures, sweet chili honey shrimps are bound to be a hit at any meal. By following this recipe and keeping our tips in mind, you can create a mouthwatering dish that showcases the delicate flavor of the shrimps with a delightful sauce.
