Fried shrimp

[1] Cajun popcorn is a similar dish of peeled crayfish-tail fritters rich of spices,[2] where shrimps could also be used as a substitute for crayfish.

[9] It is thought that ebi furai was created around 1900 along with similar dishes such as tonkatsu in the Western food restaurants of Tokyo.

[12] Ebi furai became a specialty of the city of Nagoya due to a joke made by a popular Japanese tarento (celebrity) Tamori in the 1980s.

Along with ojingeo-twigim (fried squid) and other twigims, it is a common street food and a bunsikjip (snack bar) item.

It is made by peeling large shrimp and marinating it in a mixture of calamansi juice, salt, and black pepper.

The batter is uniquely traditionally made from galapong (ground soaked glutinous rice), mixed with calabaza, sweet potatoes, or cassava and various vegetables like carrots, onions, and green papaya.
