Deep Fried Shrimp

Instructions

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine cup self-rising flour and 1/3 cup corn starch. Stir in cup water.
2. Continue stirring until batter is smooth.
3. You may add more water, a little at a time, to get the consistency of batter that will coat the shrimp.
4. Stir 1 tablespoon warm oil into batter, and then add 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Mix well.
5. Now, heat your oil in a deep-fry pot, until a test shrimp sizzles.
6. Then you may coat a few shrimp at a time and put them gently into the hot oil.
7. They will cook very quickly, so tend to them with a metal draining spatula, and lift them out and onto a tray with paper toweling when done.
8. Continue this method until all shrimp are cooked.
9. Pat off any extra oil with a paper towel, and place the Deep-Fried Shrimp on a nice serving plate.
