G I Batter-Fried Shrimp

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Heat oil in a non-stick skillet.

2. 2

   Combine 1/2 cup of oil with eggs. Beat well.

3. 3

   Add remaining ingredients making sure that the mix is nice and thick.

4. 4

   Dip the shrimp into batter to coat them. Make sure that the batter is sticking properly to the shrimp so that it will fry properly.

5. 5

   Drop shrimp into the hot oil in the skillet. Fry for about a minute or until you notice that it is golden brown. Don't evercook them, it will make them tough!

6. 6

   Use a spatula or splotted spoon to remove the fried shrimp. Have a large platter ready with newspaper/paper towels to drain the grease.

   Repeat as many batches as needed. With a standard skillet it will take about 5 batches at least until all are cooked.

8. 8

   Be sure to disinfect counter tops/oven surfaces, and sinks used to prepare shrimp to prevent food poisoning and reduce fish smell.

9. 9

   Keep peelings and shrimp refuse sealed in a ziplock bag and dispose of it promptly or store in freezer until trash day.
