This shrimp is very tasty and would have gotten 5 stars except that I had trouble with the technique. The batter didn't want to stick to the shrimp, so I tried dipping, frying, draining and dipping again and frying....that worked but it was a lot of work. I then tried dredging the shrimp in flour, dipping in batter and frying and that worked much better. Don't expect a thick coating of batter, these shrimp are light and crisp and very good. We had these with sweet chilli sauce as a dip. Thanks JDG, good recipe!
