Steps:
- Pour the beer into a medium-size bowl and stir in the vodka. Slowly whisk in the flour and the paprika. The batter should be fairly thick, but also easy to stir. Set aside in a warm place. "Press" the garlic clove into another bowl and stir in the olive oil and shrimp. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside. Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed pot (or, alternatively, a deep-fryer). Heat the oil slowly to 370 F. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Line a baking sheet with a kitchen towel or paper towels to drain the shrimp once they are cooked.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Arrange the basil leaves on a sheet pan. Put the pan in the oven for 2 minutes, just to wilt the basil a bit, if the basil is young and tender this step is not necessary. Wrap a basil leaf around the middle of each shrimp like a belt. When ready to serve, dip the shrimp into the batter and drop, in small batches, into the oil. Fry until crispy, turning on both sides with a slotted metal spoon. Add the lemons into the oil and fry until crispy. Drain them on the lined baking sheet and season immediately with salt. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
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.

CREME FRAICHE
This is very much like sour cream yet it is softer and has a little more tang. Use it to garnish anything from pies to soup. Try whipping it with a little bit of sugar for tangy whipped cream!

PASTA WITH SHRIMP IN TOMATO CREAM
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of the salt and return to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, add to the pan, and sauté until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside in a large bowl.
- Add the white and light green slices of scallions (reserve the dark green slices for garnish) and garlic to the pan and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside in the bowl with the shrimp and cover.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the cream, chicken stock, vermouth, sun-dried tomatoes, and tomato paste. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer until the liquid has thickened and reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Return the shrimp mixture to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the pasta directly to the skillet, along with the feta, parsley, and half the basil. Toss everything together until the cheese begins to melt and the pasta is glossy with sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Plate in bowls and garnish with the remaining basil and the scallion greens.
Tips:
- To make the perfect buttermilk batter, use a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper. The cornstarch helps create a crispy coating, while the baking powder and baking soda help the batter rise. - For a flavorful and juicy shrimp, marinate them in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help tenderize the shrimp and infuse them with flavor. - To achieve a golden brown and crispy coating, fry the shrimp in hot oil until they are cooked through. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the shrimp, as this will prevent them from sticking to the pan. - To add a touch of luxury to the dish, top the shrimp with California sturgeon caviar and crème fraiche. The caviar adds a briny and nutty flavor, while the crème fraiche adds a creamy and tangy touch. - Serve the shrimp over a bed of pea sprout and tomato salad for a refreshing and colorful side dish. The pea sprouts add a crunchy texture, while the tomatoes add a pop of sweetness and acidity.Conclusion:
Buttermilk battered shrimp with California sturgeon caviar and crème fraiche over pea sprout and tomato salad is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any special occasion. The shrimp are crispy and flavorful, the caviar and crème fraiche add a touch of luxury, and the pea sprout and tomato salad provide a refreshing and colorful accompaniment. With its combination of flavors and textures, this dish is sure to impress your guests.
