So, taking inspiration from this photo, I decided to write the recipe for you.

Ingredients

For the batter:
– 200g 00 flour;
– 250ml iced sparkling water;
– 1 egg;
– 1 pinch of salt.
For the prawns:
– 500g fresh prawn tails;
– Salt and pepper to taste;
– Peanut oil for frying;
– Lemon juice (optional).
For the Tartata Sauce:
– 200ml mayonnaise;
– 1 tbsp chopped capers;
– 1 gherkin, finely chopped;
– 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley;
– 1 tsp Dijon mustard;
– 1 tbsp lemon juice;
– Salt and pepper to taste.

Preparation

Prepare the shrimp: shell and clean the shrimp tails, removing the intestinal thread with a toothpick. Rinse them well under cold running water, then dry them with kitchen paper. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Prepare the batter: in a bowl, mix the flour with the salt. Add the iced sparkling water and the egg, then mix quickly with a whisk until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous batter. Do not overmix, the batter should remain slightly lumpy to be more crispy.
Prepare the tartar sauce: in a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, capers, gherkin and parsley. Add the Dijon mustard and lemon juice, mixing well until the mixture is smooth. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving, so the flavors can meld.
Fry the shrimp: Heat the peanut oil in a deep frying pan until it reaches 350-355°F (170-180°C). Dip each shrimp tail into the batter, letting the excess drip off, then fry in the hot oil until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve the battered shrimp tails with the tartar sauce on the side in a small bowl. Your guests can dip the shrimp in the sauce, adding a creamy, savory touch to the dish.
