【Mother’s taste】Fresh♪How to make deep fried shrimp

Deep fried shrimp is a Japanese-originated dish that is very popular with foreigners.
However, “Deep fried shrimp” is classified as Western foods even though that is Japanese food.

I do not explain the birthplace because there are various theories, but it seems that in the year 1900, the birth of a Western restaurant inspired “fish fry” and “tempura” and gradually spread it throughout the country.
Then, after the war, frozen shrimp fries were born and became popular at once.

“Red deep fried shrimp” released by Katokichi Suisan in 1962 triggered the deep fried shrimp to become widely known.
Of course, it also gains popularity as a side dish for lunch.
Japanese who prefer such shrimp consume an average of 2.3 kg of shrimp annually. This is the country with the highest “shrimp consumption per capita” in the world.

“Deep fried shrimp.”
I thought about why Japanese people like it so much.

・ It is hard to lean on fried food
・ Crispy
・ Coating and shrimp compatibility
etc.
For these reasons, “deep fried shrimp” is loved by all people.
