- Place in a bowl, cover it, and refrigerate for 2 hours or so.
- After two hours, make your batter.
- Take your corn starch, ap flour, salt and pepper and combine.
- add egg white, and then start adding milk, whisking vigorously until you have created a thin but not watery batter (you will use this batter to dip the shrimp in, to then coat with bread crumbs.
- Heat your oil for deep frying.
- After you have created your batter, take your shrimp out of the fridge, and one by one dip into the batter and then coat in bread crumbs completely, and make a single layer of the shrimp on a plate to begin frying.
- After they are all coated, begin, in batches, frying the shrimp.
- This will take only a couple of minutes per shrimp.

Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D
I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much.
I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on...
I hope you enjoy my recipes...
