Fried Shrimp
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Coleslaw
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
Prepare the Shrimp Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and beer until smooth.
Heat Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the shrimp in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Cook the French Fries
In the same oil, fry the french fries according to package instructions or until golden and crispy.
Serve
Plate the fried shrimp with french fries and coleslaw on the side.
