Lay the shrimp out in a single layer and dust both sides with cornstarch.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the salt, egg, flour, and club soda. Do not over mix - a few small lumps in the batter is fine.
Place a heavy-bottomed pot over a high heat and add about 2 inches of oil.
Allow the oil to heat up to 340°F-360°F.
Dip the coated shrimp into the prepared batter using a pair of tongs.
Add to the hot oil and allow to fry for 2 - 5 minutes.
Transfer to a paper-lined plate to soak up any excess oil and then enjoy.
- Makes 6 to 8 servings.
