👨‍🍳 Instructions

Mix shallots, soy sauce, sake, hot pepper sauce, cilantro, and ginger together in a bowl; let sit, about 2 hours.

Mix 1 cup rice flour, seltzer water, and egg yolk together in a bowl.

Split shrimp down the center, cutting almost but not completely through, and open flat.

Pat with paper towel to dry; dust with 1/2 cup rice flour.

Dip shrimp in batter until thoroughly covered.

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

Cook shrimp in small batches in oil until golden brown, about 7 minutes.

Remove shrimp from oil and place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Serves dipping sauce alongside the shrimp.
