These fried shrimp are as good and tasty as you’d get in any restaurant.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds peeled shrimp
- Red pepper and salt to taste
- 1-2 bottles of beer
- 1-2 cups flour
- 1 egg
- Oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, sprinkle peeled shrimp with red pepper and salt. Shrimp lends itself well to the taste of red pepper. Pour enough beer just to cover the shrimp.
Step 2
Break an egg into the mixture and add enough flour to the mixture to make a batter.
Step 3
For best results soak overnight in the refrigerator, although shrimp can be fried after an hour or two of soaking.
Step 4
When ready to fry, add flour in a Ziploc bag and shrimp (without crowding) and shake to coat the shrimp with the flour.
Step 5
Place shrimp in heated oil and cook just until they are a light golden brown and shrimp start to float in the oil.
