In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, egg, mushroom stock powder, and salt. Stir until the batter becomes smooth and well combined.
Add the peeled shrimp into the batter and make sure each piece is evenly coated.
2: Fry the shrimp
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the battered shrimp until they turn golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-4 minutes on each side. Once fried, remove the shrimp from the pan and set them aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
3: Prepare the Nestum mixture
In a separate bowl, mix the Nestum, sugar, salt, and mushroom stock powder. Stir everything together until the ingredients are evenly combined.
4: Cook the chili and Nestum mixture
In the same pan, melt the Golden Churn butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced red chili and sauté them until they become dry and fragrant.
Add the Nestum mixture into the pan and stir quickly to prevent burning. Cook for about 2-3 minutes over low heat, ensuring that the Nestum becomes slightly toasted.
5: Combine the shrimp with the Nestum mixture
Once the Nestum mixture is ready, add the fried shrimp into the pan. Toss everything together gently so that the shrimp are coated with the crispy, seasoned Nestum flakes.
Once everything is well-mixed, remove from heat immediately.
6: Serve and enjoy
Serve the crispy Nestum shrimp hot, garnished with extra chili if desired, and enjoy the crunchy, savory, and sweet combination that will surely impress your guests.
Tips for a Perfect Dish
Ensure the oil is at the right temperature before frying the shrimp. If the oil is too cold, the batter will absorb excess oil and become greasy.
Feel free to adjust the amount of chili depending on your preferred spice level.
For extra crunch, consider adding more Nestum during the final step to create a thicker coating.
