In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a delicious seafood treat–her Gorgeous and Tasty Deep-Fried Shrimp! The shrimp has a thin batter that fries up to a golden and crispy coating, while the shimp themselves remain delightful and juicy!
NOTE: IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WORKING WITH HOT OIL, PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS RECIPE.
Ingredients:
½ cup self-rising flour
1/3 cup corn starch
½ cup cold water
1 tablespoon warm vegetable oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
vegetable oil for deep-frying (I used peanut oil.)
uncooked shrimp (as many and as large as you want), cleaned and deveined
seafood cocktail sauce, for serving
In a small mixing bowl, combine ½ cup self-rising flour and 1/3 cup corn starch. Stir in ½ cup water. Continue stirring until batter is smooth. You may add more water, a little at a time, to get the consistency of batter that will coat the shrimp. Stir 1 tablespoon warm oil into batter, and then add 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Mix well. Now, heat your oil in a deep-fry pot, until a test shrimp sizzles. Then you may coat a few shrimp at a time and put them gently into the hot oil. They will cook very quickly, so tend to them with a metal draining spatula, and lift them out and onto a tray with paper toweling when done. Continue this method until all shrimp are cooked. Pat off any extra oil with a paper towel, and place the Deep-Fried Shrimp on a nice serving plate. Serve with my Surfin’ Seafood Cocktail sauce. Lovely and flavorful-great for entertaining!
