A week before Christmas, I was already planning what to cook for our Noche Buena, though it would just be me, Daddy and Mike who's gonna celebrate together I wanted to make it special. I was thinking of something easy to prepare and would require a short time to cook since I will be coming from work that day. So, Camaron Rebosado, Baby Back Ribs TGIF style and pasta made the list. The Baby Back ribs of course is not an easy-to-prepare dish since it'll take like 2 hours to cook. Good thing I was allowed to get home early so I was able to get it done on time! :) Ok enough with my blah-blah! Let's get down with the recipe!
Camaron Rebosado
Ingredients:
1/2 kilo shrimp, peeled and deveined (leave the tail part unpeeled)
1 can Sprite or Mountain Dew
8 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
2 pieces raw eggs
1 tablespoon fresh milk
cooking oil (enough to deep fry the shrimp)
Instructions:
1. Marinate the shrimp in Sprite or Mountain dew for 15-30 minutes.
2. Combine flour, cornstarch, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well.
3. Add the eggs and milk. Stir until mixed well. (This will be a bit challenging if you'll do it manually. Patience is the key. :)
4. Heat the pan before pouring the cooking oil. Allow time as well for the cooking oil to heat up.
5. After making sure that the oil is hot enough, dip a piece of shrimp in the batter (except for the tail part) then deep-fry until the color of the outer part turns golden and the texture becomes crispy.
6. Remove from the pan then place in a plate with paper towel (to absorb excess oil).
This is best served with sweet and sour sauce! Serve immediately before it turns soggy. :)
P.S. This is my first time to try this one out but it really went well. Just stick to the instructions and follow the measurements of the ingredients strictly and everything will be perfect. But please do remember, shrimp needs just a very short time to cook. So FOCUS. :)
