PAULA DEEN'S BEER BATTERED SHRIMP
I found this recipe on Food Network's website and couldn't believe it wasn't on Zaar! This is a super simple fried shrimp recipe from Paula Deen. I tried this on my shrimp the other night and it was delicious. I also fried some chicken tenders in the batter and they were delicious as well. Make sure you let the beer/flour mixture sit for a few hours before using it.

Steps:
- Into a bowl sift together flour and salt. Make a well in the center, pour in the beer and add the oil in a stream, stirring constantly until smooth. Strain the batter into another bowl and let it stand, covered with plastic for 3 hours or refrigerate overnight. Just before using, stir the batter and fold in the egg whites.;
Tips:
- Choose large, juicy shrimp for the best results. - Make sure the batter is cold before frying the shrimp. This will help the batter stay crispy. - Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the shrimp will not cook evenly. - Fry the shrimp in small batches until they are golden brown and cooked through. - Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.Conclusion:
