Camaron Rebosado (translated in English as Overflowed Shrimp) is an easy seafood dish that makes use of shrimps as the primary component. Shelled shrimps are marinated in lemon juice and dipped in a batter before deep frying.This style of cooking shrimp nearly resembles the Japanese tempura and shrimp croquettes; however, some ingredients and preparation steps vary.
Fried dishes are often regarded as bland or having a very mild taste. This is one of the reasons why a rich and flavorful sauce should be paired with such dishes. For this simple shrimp recipe, an easy to make sweet and sour sauce is the solution.

Hi sir! Can we use this battered mixed like cooking Shrimp Calamari, Fish fillet and pork battered? Thanks
Vanjo Merano says
Glenn, this batter should be good with seafood. However, I will not recommend this when you fry pork or chicken.

Thank you very much for this recipe. I had been making camaron rebosado without following any recipe and the results were good. However, I always have either too much or too little batter. I decided to google a filipino style camaron rebosado and I found your recipe. It is not only good, it is superb and the saltiness is just right, It is really very, very delicious. I actually found your video very helpful. Thank you again. More power to you.
