I found this version of fried shrimp in a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook (circa 1968). It's fairly easy to prepare and is my go to fried shrimp recipe. The directions have been summarized/rewritten but the title and ingredients are authentic to the recipe. Ingredients:
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 slightly beaten egg |
1 cup ice water |
2 tablespoons salad oil |
2 lbs shrimp (fresh or frozen in shells) |
Directions:
1. Peel and devein the shrimp as desired (you may wish to remove the last section and tail portion, but many folks leave it intact for frying).
2. Combine the first 6 ingredients and whisk until smooth.
3. Dry the shrimp, dip them into the batter, and fry in oil until golden.
4. Drain on a paper towel.
