Ebi furai is basicly a japanese deep fried shrimp, and it's pretty popular both in japan and worldwide. It's a simple & tasty dish but it requires few techniques to make it right. I got a request from a friend to make this, but actually i had made it just once before, and it wasn't really that successful since i overcooked the shrimps lol
So, this time i watched many ebi furai recipe videos & decided to try 2 different recipe and see which one is better. I'll refer it by #1 recipe and #2 recipe in the steps below. It's actually almost the same, the only difference is in step 4.
And it turned out quite successful! :D I think the key is actually to not deep fry the ebi furai too long, cook it until it just turn golden (maybe about a minute) to get that soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside delicious ebi furai like the one you eat in a restaurant ;) It's a pretty simple recipe, you only need to be a bit patient when peeling and deveining the shrimps, especially if you're doing quite a large batch. I made about 20 shrimps and it took almost an hour to peel and devein them ~.~
