Provided by Food Network

Time 3h15m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup flat beer
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 medium egg whites, beaten until they hold stiff peaks

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.
