Popcorn shrimp is a type of deep fried breaded and or battered shrimp seasoned with spices and served with different dipping sauces. Quite easy to make as well as to cook, it will only take you around 3 min. Large shrimps though is recommended for easy preparation you can still use the small ones or even the broken pieces. The spice and the dip defines it all so spice it up and serve it with your favourite dip. This also goes well with beer!

Pat dry shrimps with paper towels, give it several score it on the sides this will help the batter adhere better to the shrimps. Set aside.

Combine Cajun seasoning in a small bowl then divide it into two equal amounts. Season shrimps with one part of the Cajun seasoning and salt.

Prepare a deep fryer or wok filled with oil for deep frying, heat up to 180C.

One by one dip shrimp in the batter then into the bread crumbs then drop carefully into the hot oil. Do it with the remaining but do it in small batches. Cook until golden, this will take around 3 min.

Place cooked shrimps on a paper towel lined plate to remove excess oil, season with salt then serve with your favourite dip. I used aioli and sweet chilli sauce.
