Method 1

Prepare blended oil, eggs, cornstarch, flour, pepper, salt and shrimp.

Remove the shrimp shell and shrimp thread, add some cornstarch, flour, pepper, salt, and two eggs and beat into a paste. Add appropriate amount of oil into the pot, put a little paste in the oil, test the oil temperature, when the oil temperature is right, scoop a spoonful of paste into the pot and fry one side, then turn it over to the other side. You can filter the oil when you pick it up, then remove it from the pot. After everything is fried, wait until the oil temperature rises and put it back into the pot. Wait until the big bubbles in the pot turn into small bubbles, and it's almost ready to be served.

Prepare flour, salt, eggs, starch, and shrimps. Beat the eggs into a bowl and stir evenly. Add appropriate amount of flour and starch to make them stick together. Add appropriate amount of oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, use a slightly larger spoon to scoop the shrimp into the pan and fry until it changes color. When both sides of the shrimp cake turn red, you can take it out of the pan and sprinkle some cumin powder or other seasoning powder on it. It tastes very good.

How to prepare the batter for fried shrimp cakes

Prepare steamed bread crumbs, bread crumbs, eggs, starch, seasoning, flour, and shrimp. First, clean the shrimp, take out the shrimp, remove the shrimp thread, add appropriate amount of seasoning to remove the fishy smell, and then marinate it. Add appropriate amount of spices, salt, and alcohol to marinate it. Divide the green onion, ginger, and garlic into two portions. One portion is for marinating and can be cut into blocks. The other portion needs to be chopped into minced meat. This part is to be put in the cake. The ratio of flour and starch is 2:1. Flour is used for bonding, and starch is to make the shrimp cake more crispy. After adding some starch and flour, add some water. For eggs, just use egg white and stir. The steamed bread cubes can be directly added to the flour and shrimp and mixed together. After frying, the taste is very good and layered. The bread crumbs are wrapped on the outside after being made into the cake to make the shrimp cake more crispy.

What kind of flour should be used to fry shrimp cakes to make them crispy

Shrimp cakes should be fried with a mixture of flour and starch to be crispy, thick and not soft. To make it, first mix flour and starch in a 1:1 ratio, then add appropriate amounts of eggs, salt and water and stir well.

If we want the shrimp cakes to have a crispy crust, we can’t just coat the surface of the shrimp cakes with a layer of flour. The correct way is to prepare an appropriate amount of flour and starch and mix them together. In this way, the shrimp cakes will be crispy, thick, and not easy to become soft.

When we prepare the flour skin for shrimp cakes, we can control the ratio of flour and starch at about one to one, and then add an egg and appropriate amount of salt and water to the flour and starch and mix well.
