1 lb raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
flour, for dusting
2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
Marinade
3 dried red chilies, chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped shallots
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh galangal or 2 tablespoons ginger
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, stalks
1 tablespoon fish sauce (nam pla)

1
Process all the marinade ingredients together in a blender or food processor. Place the shrimp in a zip-loc bag, or in a bowl, and pour the marinade over and mix well. Chill for at least 2 hours.
2
Drain the marinade from the shrimp, scraping off any bits, and discard the marinade. Dust the shrimp with flour, shaking off any excess.

Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat and add the oil. When it is very hot and slightly smoking, add a handful of shrimp and deep-fry for 3 minutes, until golden and crisp. If the oil gets too hot, reduce the heat slightly. Drain the shrimp well on paper towels and fry the remaining shrimp in batches. Serve immediately.
