- 1-2 cups flavorless oil for frying
- 2 cups greens
- 2 green onions chopped
Instructions

- In a deep pan, heat enough oil to cover the shrimp, to 350 degrees.
- Coat the shrimp in cornstarch.

Notes
To save time, you can buy shrimp already peeled and deveined.
When frying, do not overcrowd the pan. The oil temperature will drop and your food will absorb the oil and become soggy.
