While the shrimp marinates, prepare the batter. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper. Pour 1 cup of ice water into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F. Dip each marinated shrimp into the prepared batter, ensuring it is completely covered. Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until the shrimp turn golden brown and are crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove the fried shrimp from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain any excess oil.
