Betty's Gorgeous and Tasty Deep-Fried Shrimp Recipe

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!

do we take the tails of the shrimp?

[bettyskitchen]

@thegamerpro12 You don't have to, but it would be better to take the tails off.

Nice video and very simple. I have a Fry Daddy that I have never used. I'd like to try it with your recipes. How much splatter would it make in the kitchen? Would I be better off using the fryer outside? I just don't want a lot of clean up. Thanks!

[bettyskitchen]

@scsiguru With a Fry Daddy that has the proper amount of oil, there should be no mess at all--just maybe grease from a utensil, etc.

that's not a shrimp, it's a prawn! ;)

[bettyskitchen]

@Stamnessj Where I live we call the jumbo shrimp prawns, but I know they are two different animals.

good way of giving out the recipe...smart lady

[albertsr2008]

did you season the shrimp before battering? if so, what did you use? if not, it seems it would be bland tasting.

[PacoalemanMX]
