PAULA DEEN'S BEER BATTERED SHRIMP



Paula Deen's Beer Battered Shrimp image

I found this recipe on Food Network's website and couldn't believe it wasn't on Zaar! This is a super simple fried shrimp recipe from Paula Deen. I tried this on my shrimp the other night and it was delicious. I also fried some chicken tenders in the batter and they were delicious as well. Make sure you let the beer/flour mixture sit for a few hours before using it.

We served these with Tartar Sauce and they were awesome, if I must say so myself. There are two Tartar Sauce recipes on zaar that look like the one we made. PanNan's #47077, or Kitten's #116984 have similar ingredients.

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.

BEER BATTERED SHRIMP



Beer Battered Shrimp image

In the late 1970s, I discovered Clyde's restaurant in Columbia, Maryland. The entire menu was fabulous, especially the Beer Battered Shrimp and their Victoria Spice Cake. Both recipes were creations of the chef, who passed away a few years later and took her recipes to her grave. The restaurant later became part of a chain and only the splendid decor remains today. The food is still good, but that's all - just "good". For months, I have been trying to replicate something approaching the taste of that wonderful shrimp dish. I am very pleased with the following recipe.
