- Pour oil into 2-quart saucepan, filling no more than 1/3 full. Heat over medium heat to 350°F.
- Stir 1 tablespoon of the hot oil into batter. Stir in baking powder.
- Coat shrimp with batter. Carefully add shrimp, a few at a time to hot oil; fry 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
