👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Whisk flour, cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl.

Make a depression in the center of the flour.

Stir in the water and egg yolk.

Mix just until moistened; batter will be lumpy.

Stir in egg whites.

One at a time, dip shrimp into the batter to coat.

Do not batter tails.

Carefully place a few shrimp at a time into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Drain on paper towels.
