The new product from McDonald's - shrimp fried in batter - immediately gained popularity. Even the opponents of American fast food fell under the charm of this hot snack. The seafood cooked in the fast food restaurant remains tender from the inside, and at the same time delights with a golden crisp. Therefore, many housewives would like to fry the shrimp in batter "like at McDonald's." In the article we will reveal the secret of cooking.
We will not need so many ingredients. The main component, of course, is shrimp - king or tiger. If you have them frozen, you need to give them time to gradually thaw. If the seafood is unpeeled - free from the legs, heads, shell, pull out the intestine. Allowed to leave only the tail. But how to make shrimp in batter - like in McDonald's, delicious and crunchy? In addition to a good deep fryer, of course, the key to success of the dish is in tempura, that is, in the dough in which the crustacean is dipped before frying. The batter at McDonald’s is low calorie oriented. And so this restaurant chain is accused of mass gaining excess weight by the younger generation. So, the dough will be without the usual beer, milk, eggs, kefir.
Pour two tablespoons of flour into a bowl. Add a pinch of ground ginger and soda on the tip of the knife. Pour in cold water gradually and mix until smooth without lumps. You can add a little sesame seeds. The dough for the dish “shrimp in batter as in the McDonald's” should get the consistency of sour cream. The peeled seafood itself should be slightly marinated under lemon juice - so they will become even more tender. We heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a deep frying pan until a haze appears. Take the shrimp by the tail, dip in tempura and carefully, so as not to get burned, spread in hot fat.
You need to act promptly, as seafood is fried very quickly. As soon as a golden crust appears, immediately stretch and lay on a paper towel - to absorb excess fat. Shrimps are served in batter (as in McDonald's), with some sweet and sour sauce, garnished with lettuce or Beijing cabbage. You can arrange the dish differently.

Japanese cuisine also has Shrimp Fried. The recipe for this tempura suggests blotting an egg yolk with an incomplete glass of iced sparkling water. Pour flour into this mixture (about 120 g). Shrimps, mushrooms, green beans and several slices of zucchini are rolled in flour, dipped in batter and fried over high heat until golden brown. Serve the dish hot with soy sauce and lemon juice.
Excellent tender shrimps in a crispy batter are obtained by mixing yolk, half a glass of milk and flour with soda for breading. Salt a little and add whipped protein to the dough. Shrimps stand for 10 minutes in soy sauce to gain flavor, then dip in a thick batter and fry in very hot vegetable oil. You can add coconut flakes or breadcrumbs to tempura.
