For an extra crispy coating, try adding a tablespoon of cornstarch to the flour mixture. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the shrimp, or they will absorb too much oil. Don't overcrowd the pan; fry the shrimp in batches to maintain the oil temperature. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
