milk, enough to make a batter with the cornstarch, not watery but thinner, not too thick

Directions

Step #1 Take your peeled, deveined & cleaned prawns with tails left on & make sure they are dried off.
Step #2 Rub them with the meet mersang (dont use a lot, just rub it into the prawns not leaving clumps of paste behind, but a nice rubbed in color).
Step #3 Place in a bowl, cover it, & put in the fridge for 2 hrs or so.
Step #4 After two hrs, make your batter.
Step #5 Take your corn starch, ap flour, salt & pepper & mix.
Step #6 add egg white, & then start adding milk, whisking vigorously until you have created a thin but not watery batter (you will use this batter to dip the shrimp in, to then coat with bread crumbs.
Step #7 Heat your oil for deep frying.
Step #8 After you have created your batter, & one by one dip into the batter & then coat in bread crumbs completely, take your shrimp out of the fridge, & make a single layer of the shrimp on a plate to begin frying.
Step #9 After they are all coated, begin, in batches, frying the shrimp.
Step #10 This will take only a couple of mins per shrimp.
Step #11 Fry them until a deep golden brown on the outside.
Step #12 Drain on papertowels & keep them close to the stove covered to keep warm til all prawns are fried.
