How to make it
- Thaw, peel and devein shrimp.
- Make cucumber salad first, so it has time to marinate while preparing dinner.
- Cut cucumber in 1/2 horizontally, and then in quarters, slice into bite size pieces.
- Place in medium bowl.
- Add vinegar, oil and salt. Toss to coat.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cover and set aside.
- Make dipping sauce.
- Take garlic cloves and mince them, or chop in a food processor. I used a small fodd processor and added the chipotle peppers with a little of the sauce, about 1/4 can, blend it all up until fine.
- Add mayo and sourcream and process until smooth. Set aside.
- Put about 1 inch of vegetable oil in pan heat thouroughly on med to med high heat. While that is warming, make batter.
- In large bowl beat one egg.
- Add ice cold water, add ice to it and just use 1 cup of the water.
- Blend egg and water together. Add 1 cup sifted flour, mix until combined, being careful not to over stir. This should be a batter consistency now. Add shrimp and toss to coat.
- Test your oil by carefully dipping in one of the shrimp or the edge of it. If it bubbles immediately, it is ready. If it doesn't do anything, wait a few more minutes.
- Once oil is ready, add first batch of shrimp, cook a couple minutes on each side until light golden color. Drain on a paper towel covered plate, repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Plate shrimp with dipping sauce side and cucumber salad. Enjoy the spicy, smoky goodness of the shrimp with sauce. Cool your palate down with cucumber salad. Enjoy!!!
