Creating Typhoon Shelter Shrimp is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
3. Make the Batter: Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, mixing until you reach a thick but smooth batter. Adjust water as necessary for consistency.
4. Coat the Shrimp: Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring it is fully covered.
5. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
6. Fry the Shrimp: Carefully add the battered shrimp to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning them for even cooking.
7. Remove and Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. Sauté Garlic and Chili: In a separate small pan, add a bit of oil and sauté the minced garlic and sliced chili peppers over medium heat until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
9. Combine: Toss the fried shrimp with the sautéed garlic and chili mixture, ensuring even coating.
10. Garnish: Transfer the shrimp to a serving plate and sprinkle with chopped green onions for garnish.

With these steps, you’ll have an incredible platter of Typhoon Shelter Shrimp ready to enjoy!
