About this dish

Shrimp fritters are a delicious and crispy dish, typical of Chinese cuisine. They consist of whole shrimp coated in a light batter made of flour, water, salt, and other seasonings. Once coated, the shrimp are deep-fried in hot oil until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while preserving the tenderness and juicy flavor of the shrimp inside. These fritters are often served with various dipping sauces, such as sweet and sour sauce, chili sauce, or simple mayonnaise. Perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, with perfectly cooked shrimp inside, these fritters are a staple of dim sum menus and festive feasts in Chinese restaurants.
