Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb extra-large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • extra flour for dusting shrimp
  • Oil for frying.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 12 oz can lager beer
  • 2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instruction

  • Mix flour, Old Bay, salt & pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk in 8 oz (1 cup) of the beer. Batter varies by atmospheric conditions, so you may need more beer to thin batter to the consistency of a slightly thick pancake batter. Let batter stand for 15 minutes. Thin batter if necessary using additional beer.
  • Heat about 1-2 inches/2.5-5 cm oil in a deep large skillet to 350F/180C. You could also use a deep-fat fryer if you have one. This recipe is NOT recommended for air fryers.
  • Dry shrimp thoroughly. Dust lightly with flour.
  • Dip shrimp in batter and carefully add to hot oil—do not crowd the pan!!!
  • Fry 2 minutes then turn and fry an additional 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and keep warm in a 200F/100C oven while frying additional batches.
  • Serve with coleslaw https://bakeatmidnite.com/kicked-up-cole-slaw/
