Mix 1 cup rice flour, seltzer water, and egg yolk together in a bowl.
Split shrimp down the center, cutting almost but not completely through, and open flat. Pat with paper towel to dry; dust with 1/2 cup rice flour. Dip shrimp in batter until thoroughly covered.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cook shrimp in small batches in oil until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove shrimp from oil and place on paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serves dipping sauce alongside the shrimp.
Cook's Notes:
I use my Fry Daddy(R) to cook the shrimp, but you can also use a skillet.
Do not try to cook too many shrimp at one time. Only cook as many as will fit in the pan without overlapping.
The batter can also be used to fry fresh veggies!
Editor's Note:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
