Defrost the shrimp in cold water and peel if they have shells. Pat dry with paper towel to remove excess liquid so the batter sticks better.
Divide the rice flour or flour into two separate plates, mixing with garlic powder and other spices you want to add.
Whisk the egg/water in a small bowl.
Then set up your stations, first being one the rice flour plates, second the bowl with egg then lastly your other plate of four.
Take 1 shrimp at a time, then dredge in flour mix gently, then put in egg mix, then lastly coat in rice flour again. Continue this process until all are done.
To cook shrimp: on medium heat, warm a large sauté pan generously covered in coconut oil.
Cook shrimp each side about 3 - 4 minutes until golden brown. Key is not to overcrowd the pan and use good quality coconut oil so they don't burn and turn out crispy.
Season with salt and pepper - fresh ground.

Notes

Optional serving sauce: mix mayo with a spoonful of pesto and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice
