Popcorn Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer until a smooth batter forms.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Dip each shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
