Beer-Battered Fried Shrimp

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This shrimp is very tasty and would have gotten 5 stars except that I had trouble with the technique. The batter didn't want to stick to the shrimp, so I tried dipping, frying, draining and dipping again and frying....that worked but it was a lot of work. I then tried dredging the shrimp in flour, dipping in batter and frying and that worked much better. Don't expect a thick coating of batter, these shrimp are light and crisp and very good. We had these with sweet chilli sauce as a dip. Thanks JDG, good recipe!

    Beer-Battered Fried Shrimp, Mmmmm comfort food:) These can be an appetizer or main dish, depending on what you pair them with–but there never seems to be enough because even the most hard-core seafood haters (like me ) seem to love shrimp! Go figure! If you can, get your shrimp (or any seafood, for that matter) at a fish market–the freshness and non fishy taste are worth the price , This shrimp is very tasty and would have gotten 5 stars except that I had trouble with the technique The batter didn’t want to stick to the shrimp, so I tried dipping, frying, draining and dipping again and frying that worked but it was a lot of work I then tried dredging the shrimp in flour, dipping in batter and frying and that worked much better Don’t expect a thick coating of batter, these shrimp are light and crisp and very good We had these with sweet chilli sauce as a dip Thanks JDG, good recipe!, Mmmmm comfort food:) These can be an appetizer or main dish, depending on what you pair them with–but there never seems to be enough because even the most hard-core seafood haters (like me ) seem to love shrimp!
