Morrison's Cafeteria Fried Shrimp image

Dunno where Morrison's Cafeteria is but this makes some mighty nice fried shrimp. Adapted from the Miami Herald. I like to use my deep fat fryer outside on the deck - all the crunchy shrimpy goodness outside & no greasy kitchen cleanup! Shrimp are coming in here fast & furious for a while longer - this is a great way to use them.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs shrimp, cleaned and tails left on (about 3 dozen medium to large)
peanut oil (for deep frying)
1 cup flour, sifted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons paprika
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Blot shrimp dry with paper towels and set aside. Heat several inches of oil to 350 degrees in a deep, heavy pot or deep fryer.
  • Combine the dredging mixture in a shallow dish.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the baking powder, salt and paprika into the flour. Whisk in the egg and water, blending well.
