My mom made this for the family growing up. It was our favorite, especially when it's fresh. Serve with your favorite condiment. Mine is sweet chili sauce, ketchup, or mayonnaise.

Tips: Tom chien flour can be bought at asian grocery stores. It is translated as shrimp fry flour. You might find that it is sometimes packaged as "Bot Tom chien & chuoi".. Which means shrimp and banana flour, because this can also be used to fry bananas. ;) I've included an image in the directions of what the bag looks like.

Also, they sell active dry yeast in little packets. Usually comes in 3 or more. You can use one packet if you buy these.

Steps

30 mins

1

Heat oil to 375°F
2

Peel shrimp and cut slits on the stomach of the shrimp to prevent curling. Wash and pat dry.
3

Sprinkle sugar, salt, and pepper, and minced garlic on shrimp, mix well.
4

Take tom chien flour and dump in a large mixing bowl. Add salt, egg white, active dry yeast, butter, vegetable oil, and water. Mix well until a batter forms. The batter should be slightly thick but easy to work with when dipping the shrimp.
5

Pour panko powder in a separate bowl.
6

Dip shrimp in batter, making sure there isnt a lot of "hanging batter". Then dip in panko breadcrumbs. Cook in fryer for exactly 2 minutes. You will need to cook in batches. Transfer fried shrimp to a tray/bowl lined with paper towel to absorb extra oil.
7

Serve with your favorite condiment. I like ketchup, sweet chili sauce, or mayonnaise. Enjoy!
