Brilio.net - Recently, there has been a fried shrimp creation that has gone viral on TikTok and has made many people curious. This creation is called ' balloon shrimp ' because the flour mixture that wraps the shrimp will puff up when fried in hot oil, creating a unique and attractive appearance. The balloon-like puffed shape makes balloon shrimp a dish that is not only delicious to eat, but also fun to look at.
It's no wonder that many people are interested in trying to make balloon shrimp at home, especially after seeing the viral videos on TikTok. The process of making it is actually quite simple, even though the results look so impressive. So, for those of you who like to try new things in the kitchen, this balloon shrimp can be an interesting choice to try.
One of the food influencers who successfully created this viral balloon shrimp creation is TikTok @Sibungbung, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (4/9). The balloon shrimp he made managed to inflate perfectly, with a tempting appearance and a crunchy texture on the outside but still juicy on the inside. Sibungbung's creation has successfully attracted the attention of many people, making many people want to try this unique recipe themselves at home.
Wanting to follow in Sibungbung's footsteps, a TikToker named Mursid also tried to make the viral balloon shrimp. Through a video upload on TikTok, Mursid shared his efforts in trying this recipe. He carefully followed the same ingredients and steps as Sibungbung, hoping to get similar results with perfectly inflated balloon shrimp.
Unfortunately, despite following all the instructions, Mursid's creation did not go as planned. Instead of puffing up like a balloon, the flour mixture that coated his shrimp did not expand properly, so the result was far from expectations. Despite the failure, Mursid still shared his experience, showing that although it looks simple, making the perfect balloon shrimp does require tricks and experience.

Counting the 6th attempt, the resulting balloon shrimp still failed. At the beginning of the video, he was seen cleaning the shrimp one by one and then drying them using tissue. To make it delicious, this netizen also sprinkled salt and pepper to marinate the shrimp.

On the other hand, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of potato starch, and 2 tablespoons of wheat flour. Don't forget, he also added 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the flour mixture. All ingredients are then stirred together.

After stirring, the flour mixture is then filtered. Then add the egg white and oil into it. Stir until all ingredients are perfectly mixed. After that, the shrimp can be directly dipped and put into hot cooking oil. Unfortunately, this experiment did not meet expectations.

Because it failed, he added all the ingredients little by little into the dough and stirred it again. Then the shrimp was dipped into the dough and put into hot cooking oil in a small teflon. It turned out that the shrimp could bubble as expected.
"It turns out that yesterday's dough was not a problem, you know this is the cause. This experiment was successful, guys," said the video owner.
