Carefully remove the shells from the shrimp, leaving the tail sections intact. De-vein and wash under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. In a dish or
bowl, marinate briefly in a mixture of the vodka, salt, and pepper while you make the batter. In a mixing, put the flour and baking powder; gradually add the cold water, whisking until
smooth. In a wok, heat the 2 cup of oil until it reaches 350 degrees F. Add 1 tablespoon of the hot oil to the batter and stir to combine. Take a shrimp by the tail and dip it into the
batter (do not dip the tail), then slide it into the hot oil. Deep-fry all the shrimp, a few at a time, until golden brown. This should take about 2 minutes for each batch. Drain on paper
towels, and serve tails up, in a serving dish, with your choice of dip. Makes 8 to 10 appetizer servings.
