Preparing the shrimps

1. Prepare the shrimp: peel and devein the shrimp, rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. If using a marinade, combine lime juice and zest, soy sauce, garlic, chili pepper and pepper in a bowl. Add shrimp, stir and leave to marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. This will add flavor and juiciness.
2. Take a small bunch of kataifi (about 4-5 cm wide and 20-25 cm long). Lay it out on your work surface. If the threads stick together, lightly fluff them with your hands.
3. Wrap the shrimp: Take one shrimp, place it on the edge of the kataifi bundle (tail facing out). Wrap the dough tightly around the shrimp, leaving the tail exposed. To prevent the dough from unrolling, lightly wet your fingers with water and press the wrapped shrimp into your palms. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Place the prepared shrimp in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the dough to set.
4. In a deep saucepan or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 175-180°C (350°F). There should be enough oil to submerge the shrimp completely (about 7-8 cm deep). Check the temperature: a piece of dough should sizzle and turn golden within 30 seconds.
5. Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator. Fry them in batches of 4-6 at a time so as not to reduce the temperature of the oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the kataifi is golden and crispy. Do not overcook to prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
7. Place shrimp on a plate and add lemon juice for drizzle. Serve with sauce in a separate dipping bowl. The dish is best eaten hot to maintain crispness.
