Fried Shrimp with Scallions

静

Shrimp is rich in protein, and you can cook it in simple or complex ways. Boiling it directly in water and then eating it with sauce is the easiest way. For this recipe, I use deep frying. With the green onions, after deep frying, the green onions will cover the surface of the shrimp, and the hot oil will increase the aroma of the green onions. You will taste a delicious fried shrimp with green onion flavor. If you want to do it well, make sure your oil temperature reaches the required temperature. Otherwise, the texture of the shrimp will be bad, and the starch paste on the surface of the shrimp will be soft. The finished result of this recipe should be fragrant and crispy.
