Note
- Don't Skip the Rest Time: Allow the shrimp to marinate in the batter for the full 30 minutes. This is crucial for the coating to properly adhere, ensuring a consistently crispy finish that won't separate during frying.
- Control the Oil Temperature: Maintain the oil precisely at 120∘C (248∘F). This moderate heat prevents the Panko from burning while guaranteeing the shrimp is cooked through and achieves a perfect "golden and crispy" texture.
- Mind the Oil & Salt: For a healthier option (as advised by Mate), use low-sodium seasoning alternatives and always drain the shrimp thoroughly after frying to minimize excess oil and fat content.
