Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the batter adhere better.
- Dip each shrimp into the prepared batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
- 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.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, salsa sauce, tomato puree, and sesame oil. Mix well until fully blended.
- In a large clean bowl, gently toss the fried shrimp with the prepared sweet chili honey sauce until they are well coated.
- 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.
