Beer Batter Shrimp


These are light, tasty shrimp and are not coated with a thick batter. I like to serve these with a variety of sauces: cocktail, flavored butter sauce and maybe even a tartar sauce for those who like it. I've been preparing shrimp this way for almost 20 years and it's still my favorite way to serve fried shrimp. (prep time includes time needed to prepare shrimp)

Steps


Pour beer in a mixing bowl.
Add flour , salt and paprika.
Whisk together until mixture is light and frothy.
Add shrimp to beer mixture and stir.
Remove shrimp , one at a time , and place in oil and deep fry.
Drain on paper towels.
