Ingredients: 1 pound large shrimp (16–20 count), shells on, heads removed; 3 tablespoons cornstarch; 1 teaspoon sea salt; 1 teaspoon white pepper; ½ teaspoon garlic powder; ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1 cup neutral oil for frying; For dipping sauce: 3 tablespoons fish sauce, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 red Thai chili (sliced), 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 clove garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons water

Crispy, golden shrimp coated in a light cornstarch crust and seasoned aggressively with salt, white pepper, and garlic powder, then quickly fried until the shells crackle audibly. Served with a punchy, funky dipping sauce of fish sauce, lime, chili, and a hint of sugar—addictive and elegant.
