Cooking tips

  • Adding starch to the batter results in a much crispier and chewier texture that lasts longer than using tempura flour alone.
  • After frying, make sure to shake off all excess oil thoroughly so the shrimp won’t become soggy when mixed with the sauce.
  • If doubanjiang is unavailable, you can substitute it with a small amount of ketchup and a pinch of chili powder for a similar spicy kick.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the crispy and creamy cream shrimp they used to enjoy at Chinese restaurants, right at home.
  • Parents looking for a tasty snack for kids or an elegant beer pairing for adults.
  • Anyone seeking a special shrimp dish that’s not greasy and ends with a satisfying sweet-spicy finish.
