Boil water in a pot and stick the shrimp into the water in batches for two minutes until cooked through and then immediately place in an ice bath to stop cooking process. Then lay shrimp on a plate lined with paper towels to dry off.

Heat Canola oil in a pot to 350 degrees. Dip a skewered shrimp into the batter and then place into the hot oil. Remove when golden brown after about 3 or 4 minutes or until batter is fully cooked. Place on a plate lined with paper towels to wick away cooking oil. Repeat with the rest of the shrimp and serve with lemon garlic aioli.
