  3. Split shrimp down the center, cutting almost but not completely through, and open flat. Pat with paper towel to dry, dust with 1/2 cup rice flour. Dip shrimp in batter until thoroughly covered.

  4. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cook shrimp in small batches in oil until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove shrimp from oil and place on paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serves dipping sauce alongside the shrimp.
