Hot Shrimp Salad

So when I came across a recipe for Hot Shrimp Salad I had to try making it. I was surprised to learn that this dish is easy to make, I always imagined it would be a complicated recipe.  Making and eating this dish brought back good memories.

I dedicate this to you Tito Ed, we miss you dearly and thank you for the many happy food memories.

Here is the recipe, you will need the following:
1/2 kilo shrimps
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons condensed milk
1 can fruit cocktail, either the fiesta or imported variety works, but the imported kind makes it more special :)
2 tablespoons milk
1 egg
3/4 cup cornstarch
salt and pepper to taste

1. Peel shrimps, then season with salt and pepper, add 2 tablespoons milk.  Marinate for at least 30 minutes. 
2. In a bowl mix together the mayonnaise and condensed milk. Drain the liquid from the fruit cocktail, then toss in the mayo-milk mixture.  Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill in the fridge.
3.  In a bowl combine egg and cornstarch season with salt.  Whisk until the batter becomes smooth. 
4.  Drain the milk from the shrimps, then dip the shrimps in the batter, one at a time.  Deep-fry the shrimps.  Cook until light golden brown.  Drain on paper towels.
4. Toss cooked shrimps in the mayo mixture, serve immediately and enjoy :)
