Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 cup beer light flavorful beer like a wheat beer or lager
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 pound Shrimp large to jumbo size, peeled, and deveined if desired
- oil for frying about 2-3 cups for a small saucepan
Instructions
- Since this may go faster than you expect, prepare any sauces you’ll be using, then refrigerate covered until needed.
- Add oil to a heavy bottomed pot or deep fryer to about 2 to 3 inches deep. Heat oil to 375 F--I recommend testing with an instant read thermometer
- In a medium bowl, mix flour with seasonings, including salt and pepper.
- Whisk in beer.
- Dredge or dust peeled shrimp in cornstarch, then dip in batter
- Place the battered shrimp into the hot oil and turn after a couple minutes when golden on the first side. Be sure not to overload the pan. Shrimp will cook about 2-3 minutes per side and sizzling will become less vigorous when shrimp are done (because a lot of moisture has left).
- When done, remove from oil to a cloth or paper towel to absorb any excess oil then move to wire rack. If making a lot of shrimp, you can keep them warm in the oven while finishing the rest.
Notes
- Oil should be deep enough so they don't hit the pan bottom and pick up bits of old charred batter.
- Calorie count will be low since the amount of absorbed oil cannot be calculated.
