G I Batter-Fried Shrimp

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Peel, devein, and wash all the shrimp.

2. 2

   Combine the 1/2 cup of oil and eggs in a small bowl. Beat well for 1 minute.

3. 3

   Next add the remaining ingredients (except for the oil for frying & cocktail sauce). Mix thoroughly and make sure that it is a thick consistency.

4. 4

   Heat the 2 cups of oil for frying in a non-stick skillet up to medium-high.

5. 5

   Coat each shrimp with the batter and drop them into the skillet. Fry about 5 or 6 in each batch. It will take about 5 batches for all the shrimp to be fried completely. Fry them for about 1 minute or until crispy golden brown.

6. 6

   On a platter lined with paper towels, drain off each fried shrimp using a spatula or slotted spoon.

7. 7

   Repeat these steps with remaining batches of shrimp. Overcooking them will make them tough!

8. 8

   Serve them hot with cocktail sauce.

9. 9

   Once you have finished frying the shrimp, disinfect the stove top and counter areas, as well as the sink.

    Keep the peelings and shrimp refuse in a sealed ziplock bag and dispose of them immediately, or place them in the freezer until trash day. Following these steps will prevent food poisoning and fish odor in the house.
