Set aside the flour mixture that has been made to prepare the shrimp. Wash and season the shrimp according to taste. Then, coat the shrimp with egg white. Egg white is the main kitchen ingredient that you must have to practice the trick so that the dough is crispy and doesn't fall apart when fried.
"The shrimp are coated in egg white first, so that the flour adheres perfectly," emphasized the netizen who is familiarly called Diba.
After coating with egg white, then transfer the shrimp to the mixture. Turn it over so that the flour sticks to the entire surface of the shrimp.
