Camaron Rebosado Filipino Fried Shrimp

Submitted by Mrs Goodall

"Posting this for World Tour 2016 Philippines. Found the recipe (and lots of others at PanlasangPinoy.com. The site has a fun video that is in half Tagalog half English that shows the recipe being made. I loved the idea of the shrimp marinating in lemon juice before frying. Looks so good! Need to find a good sweet and sour sauce to go with them! Note: There is not a frying temperature listed, I am guessing 350?"

Oh yum! I made this exactly as written, using king prawns that I bought on special at the markets. At first I thought the batter was too thick, but it cooked up fine. Served with a spicy sauce, rather than sweet and sour, which is not a popular flavour in our household.
