1 pound medium shrimp in their shells

1/2 head iceberg lettuce

8 cups oil

BATTER

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup oil

1- 1 1/4 cups cold water

SAUCE A

1 1/2 thin soy sauce

3 tbsp mild vinegar

2 tbsp shredded gingerroot

1 tbsp oriental sesame oil

SAUCE B

2 tbsp hoisin sauce

1 tbsp tomato catsup

1 tsp chili sauce

1 tsp dry sherry

1 tbsp minced scallion

Remove the shells from the shrimp but leave the last segment  and the tails.. Split the shrimp down the back until almost completely open. Remove the vein. Place the shrimp in a bowl of ice water.

Combine the  dry ingredients for the batter. Mix well,then add the oil a little at a time until oil and flour are throughly mixed; break up any large lumps. Now add the water a little at a time, stirring constantly in one direction. Eventually, the batter will become smooth and silky. Stop adding water when you attain the consistency of a thin pancake batter. Allow the batter to rest,covered, for at least 15 minutes.

Prepare sauce A,B,or both. Shred the lettuce and place on a platter. Cover with clear wrap until ready  for use.

Place the oil in a wok and heat to 375 degrees. While the oil is heating, drain  the shrimp, pat dry,and dip in the batter,leaving the tails exposed for easy handling. Line a work platter with paper toweling.

Place 8 to 10 shrimp in the hot oil and cook until the batter turns golden brown. Remove with a large strainerto the work platter. Do the remaining shrimp in the same manner, making sure that the oil reaches 375 degrees before adding the shrimp.

Remove the covering from the lettuce. Place the sauce bowl  in the center. Place the shrimp,tails up,around the perimeter of the platter. Serve immediately.
