Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp
  • 1 pound Shrimp Use fresh or thawed frozen shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Potato Starch or Cornstarch This creates the light, crispy coating.
  • 10-15 cloves Garlic A key flavor component; adjust according to your preference.
For the Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Opt for unsalted butter.
  • 1 whole Lemon Fresh lemon wedges enhance the dish.
For Seasoning
  • Seasonings (salt, pepper, paprika, etc.) Adjust according to your taste.
  • 1 cup Cooking Oil A neutral oil with a high smoke point.

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Medium-sized bowl
  • Tongs
  • Paper Towels

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cleaning your shrimp thoroughly under cold running water, removing any shells and veins. Pat them dry using paper towels.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine potato starch or cornstarch with your chosen seasonings, and stir until well blended.
  3. Dredge each shrimp in the coating mixture, ensuring thorough and even coverage.
  4. Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Remove cooked shrimp from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter and add minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
  8. Add the fried shrimp back into the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter sauce until well coated.
