Reviews
The sauce for this was awesome!!!! It appears that Tyler left the shells on his shrimp. I didn’t make the shrimp, only the sauce. Five stars for it!!!!
This dish was amazing!! It was not difficult to make and I love using Tyler’s recipes, they always turn out superb.
This dish was delicious! Even my extremely picky eaters liked it. Will definitely be making again.
My boyfriend and I made this dish last night and it was delicious in every way. We had some trouble getting the oil’s temperature right since we didn’t have a thermometer but it all worked out eventually and we only burned two pieces of shrimp. It was a success overall and I will definitely make it again.
This was NOT good. The dough was heavy and the shrimp were greasy. I don’t get those who admitted that the dough was heavy, then changed the preparation, then went on to give this 5 stars!
Tasty but not great compared to other recipes I’ve tasted.
this recipe is really easy and tastes absolutely delicious..my family loves it..
I loved it and so does my husband and everyone in my family.I never changed anything in the recipe. It’s simple but delicious.
i tried this last night with a few changes: i used a prepacked flour mixture for deep frying found in asian food stores in place of the flour.I also substituted calamari in place of the shrimp…this turned out light, crunchy and full of flavor!
His steps are so easy to follow. Tyler is the best cook.
