Beer Batter Shrimp Fritters image

Oh, how amazing this tastes. Fritters are made out of just about anything so why not seafood. This is made with a little twist by adding beer to the batter - it just couldn't be more perfect.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c warm beer
1 c flour, all purpose
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper or to taste
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 c shrimp, cleaned, deveined, chopped
cajun seasoning (tony chachere's)
1/2 c green onions and tops, chopped
1/4 c parsley, chopped
1/2 - 1 tsp garlic, minced

Steps:

  • 1. Mix beer, flour, cayenne, salt & black pepper together. Set aside for four (4) hours. I'm guessing at the measurements for the rest of the seasoning, so use less or more according to your taste.
  • 2. Put the chopped shrimp in a container and sprinkle some Cajun seasoning on them - toss them well to get them all coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to add to batter.
  • 3. After four hours mix in the shrimp, green onions, parsley and garlic. *Tip: To test the batter for seasoning, mix up everything without the shrimp and just drop a little of the batter mixture into the hot oil. Taste and adjust if needed. If it's too spicy, add about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of both flour and beer to tame the heat, then take about 1/4 to 1/2 of the batter out and mix the shrimp into the remaining batter. Use reserved batter for something else like fish or onion rings.
  • 4. Over medium heat add about 2 inches of oil in a heavy skillet. Heat until oil just starts to shimmer, or to 350* on a candy thermometer.
  • 5. Drop by teaspoon size spoonfuls into the hot oil and cook until golden brown on both sides.
  • 6. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel lined plate. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with warmed https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/jam/orange-pepper-jelly.html?p=68, or Remoulade sauce, and lemon wedges. C'est ci bon!

I think these fritters would be even better with some fresh herbs added to the batter.

The fritters were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These shrimp fritters were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the beer batter gave them a delicious flavor.
