Batter Fried Shrimp Source: Florida Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services Bureau of Seafood and Aquaculture
1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled & deveined 1/2 cup oil 1 egg, beaten 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup milk 3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt 1/4 teaspoon salt Oil for deep frying
Preheat oil to 350 degrees. Combine 1/2 cup oil and egg; beat well. Add remaining ingredients except oil for frying and stir until well blended. Dip shrimp into batter to coat. Drop shrimp into hot oil and fry for 30-60 seconds or until golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon; drain on paper towel.
Chef's Tip Add a 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to batter to make a much lighter crust, or use beer instead of milk for a barley flavor.
