- Vegetable Oilfor deep-frying
- Eggs2, beaten
- All-Purpose Flour100 g
- Ground Cumin1 tsp
- Shrimp400 g

- 2
Set up a breading line: flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs — press the crumbs on firmly.

Heat 4-5 cm of oil to 180°C; a breadcrumb dropped in should sizzle straight away.

Fry the shrimp in small batches until deep golden, 3-4 minutes per batch.

Drain on a rack, never on paper, and serve hot with mint leaves scattered over.
Chef's tip
Keep the oil at a steady 180°C — too cool and the coating goes greasy.
