2 tbsp. chili powder
1 tbsp. dried thyme leaves
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. black pepper
24 shrimp, peeled and deveined
Corn oil, for frying
Steps
Wash and peel potatoes. Cut potatoes on spiral slicer to make shoestrings.
Rinse and dry potato strings. Toss strings with spices; gently mix until well coated.
Skewer each shrimp on an individual bamboo skewer, starting at the tail end. Wrap shrimp with the potato strings and set aside.
