Easy, foolproof cooking technique. The Old Bay® seasoning accentuates the shrimp rather than overpowers. A versatile dish that can fill many roles! Serve with cocktail sauce and/or melted butter.

BEER-BATTERED SHRIMP

Plan ahead the beer batter needs to sit for 2 hours at room temperature before using. This recipe makes 1-1/2 pounds of shrimp double the batter recipe if you are planning to make a larger amount. You can store the used shortening for future use.

Time 2h2m

Yield 1 1/2 pounds shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup amber ale (use a light-coloured beer not a dark beer for this, and it MUST be room temperature)
4 large egg whites
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
black pepper (I use about 1/2 teaspoon)
1 1/2 lbs uncooked large shrimp, peeled, tails left on and deveined
shortening, for deep-drying (or use oil)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl whisk together 3/4 cup flour, 3/4 cup room temperature beer and 2 unbeaten egg whites until smooth.
  • Cover and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • After 2 hours, set oven to 250°F (to keep the shrimp warm after you have fried them).
  • In a large bowl beat the remaining 2 egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • STIR in about 1/3 of the egg white batter into the beer batter, then fold in the remaining egg whites.
  • Melt the shortening to 375°F in a heavy large pot or a deep fryer.
  • Meanwhile place 1 cup flour into a pie dish.
  • Working in batches, coat the shrimp with flour (shake off any excess flour).
  • Holding the shrimp by the tail, dip into batter until well coated.
  • Carefully lower the shrimp a few at a time into hot shortening.
  • Fry until golden brown and cooked through (about 1 minute per side).
  • Using tongs transfer the cooked shrimp to a oven-proof baking sheet and keep warm in the preheated oven while cooking the remaining shrimp.
  • Serve with tartar sauce.
