We have seen many tutorials on how to fry shrimp cakes, they all use a flat bottomed spoon, pour the seasoned batter into the spoon, then put a few shrimp, then put the spoon into the heated oil, remove the spoon after the shrimp cakes are set, and then fry the shrimp cakes until they are golden brown and fish them out.

The above practice is a more common practice, while the practice introduced by Lao Zheng is a more common practice among farmers in the mountainous regions of northern Guangdong.

①Processing river shrimp

River shrimp or sea shrimp, in addition to long shrimp whiskers, the shrimp head part of the shrimp and pointed shrimp gun. Shrimp gun and sharp and hard, very affect the taste, and accidentally also easy to cut the mouth.

Take a large bowl, pour in the appropriate amount of self-rising flour, add water to the self-rising flour into a paste, then add the appropriate amount of salt to taste, pour in the prepared shrimp, and the batter together with the mixing standby.

③Shrimp Cake

Pour a proper amount of cooking oil into the pan, and when the oil is heated to 60 or 70 percent, use a dry spatula to scoop up a little bit of the oil and drizzle it on the side of the pan, so that the sides of the pan are coated with a little bit of oil, and then you can start to fry the shrimp cake.

Use a tablespoon to scoop out the right amount of river prawns and batter, gently pour it out along the sides of the pan, and then spread the prawns out evenly and flatly.

When the prawns and batter have solidified and the cakes are slightly set, spoon a little hot oil into the pan with a spatula and pour it down the sides of the pan around the cakes, allowing the cakes to slide naturally into the hot oil.

Continue frying the shrimp cakes over medium heat until they turn golden brown, then pick them up with chopsticks and place them on a plate.
