Deep Fried Shrimp Recipe
This deep-fried shrimp recipe is one of the most popular dishes in this country. This is the first line of an email l received from my friend who moved to the United States to enhance his chef experience. I am not surprised, because we have tested this recipe and the deep-friend shrimp are flavorful, crisp, and tenderer, and not as soggy as other deep-fried shrimp recipes I have tried.
The secret to these perfectly crisp fried shrimps lies in the beer batter that encloses the shrimp in a snug-fitting surround. The beer yeast creates a leavening effect on the batter. One suggestion we have is that you prepare the beer batter well in advance, at least 1 hour. It allows the gluten in the flour to relax and the starch grains to swell, making the batter crispier.
