Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb large or jumbo fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 oz self-rising flour
3/4 tsp shellfish spice mix
1 egg
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
5 fl oz strong flavoured beer or 5 fl oz ale
oil, or melted fat to deep fry
lemon wedge, to garnish
prepared seafood cocktail sauce (optional)
1 tbsp morton lite salt
1 tbsp salt-free lemon pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp old bay seasoning
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cornstarch

Directions:

-Shellfish Spice Mix-.
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
Store unused portion in an empty spice bottle and refrigerate for maximum flavour retention.
-Fried Shrimp-.
Sift the flour and 3/4 tsp (or more, if you like) shellfish spice mix into a bowl.
Beat to a smooth batter with unbeaten egg, butter and beer.
Dredge the shrimp in the batter to coat them and place them, a few at a time, in a frying basket and fry in hot oil or fat (350F/180C) for about a minute or two until the batter is golden brown.
Remove them from the oil and drain them.
Serve with lemon wedges and, if desired, cocktail sauce.
