Crunchy Shrimp

Step 1

Peel, slit the back of shrimp, and remove veins

Step 2

Transfer shrimp into a big deep bowl and add ice cold water from your fridge--you can also use regular tap water and add some ice cubes to it. Make sure the shrimp are submerged in water.

Step 3

Add 1 heap tablespoon of baking soda into the bowl and lightly massage the shrimp with the baking soda water. Set aside for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Rinse the shrimp thoroughly with cold running water.

Step 5

Pat dry with paper towels. By now, you should see that the shrimp become somewhat translucent in appearance.

Step 6

Add egg white and tapioca starch to the shrimp. Use your hand to blend well while lightly massaging the shrimp.

Step 7

Cover the shrimp with plastic wrap and marinate overnight. Cook your shrimp without washing the marinade.
