I've got to quit making these. I overeat every time I fix them. I found this recipe in an old cookbook about a month ago and have fixed them three times and every time I eat them I can't stop. Beware-they are addictive.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
vegetable oil
3/4 cup bisquick
3/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
3 tablespoons chopped parsley (fresh is best)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 cup beer
1 egg, light beaten
Directions:
1. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
2. Heat about 1 inch oil in a Dutch oven to 375°F or use a Fry Daddy.
3. Combine dry ingredients.
4. Add beer and egg, stirring until batter is smooth.
5. Coat shrimp in batter and cook in hot oil about 2 minutes until brown.
6. Drain on paper towels.
7. Serve with salsa, cocktail sauce or tartar sauce.
