- 3 Coat the shrimp with a very thin layer of tapioca starch.
- 4 Fry the shrimp in hot oil for 3 minutes until the outer shell is crispy and the shrimp curl up, then remove and drain.
- 5 Sauté the remaining minced garlic for 1 minute until golden brown and crispy, sprinkle over the shrimp, and arrange on lettuce leaves.

Replace step 4: spray oil onto the flour-coated shrimp, fry at 200 degrees for 7 minutes, flipping at the 4th minute; step 5 still involves sautéing the garlic separately in a pan, then sprinkling it over the shrimp to prevent the garlic from burning and becoming bitter.
