Seaweed-Crusted Fried Prawns

Method

1. 1 Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, then make incisions along the belly, season with salt and pepper, and pat dry.
2. 2 Cut the seaweed into 2 cm wide strips and wrap them around the body of each shrimp.
3. 3 Brush a little water onto the edges of the seaweed strip to help it stick firmly to the shrimp's body.
4. 4 Mix the wheat flour with cornstarch and cold water to form a thick, creamy paste.
5. 5 Dip the shrimp in the batter and then deep-fry at 175 degrees for 2 minutes and 30 seconds until the batter is crispy and fluffy.
6. 6 Dip in the batter instead of coating with breadcrumbs so that the crust is thin and the seaweed color is still visible.
