1 Put the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Gradually add the water, stirring with a wire whisk until smooth. The mixture should be very thick, like sour cream.
2 Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry. Line a tray with paper towels.
3 In a deep heavy saucepan, pour enough oil to reach a depth of 2 inches, or if using an electric deep-fryer, follow the manufacturer's directions. Heat the oil to 370°F. on a frying thermometer or until a drop of the batter placed in the oil sizzles and browns in 1 minute.
4 Place the shrimp in the bowl with the batter and stir to coat. Remove the shrimp one at a time and with tongs carefully place them in the oil. Fry at one time only as many shrimp as will fit without crowding. Cook the shrimp until very lightly golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on the paper towels. Fry the remaining shrimp in the same way. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
