PAULA DEEN'S BEER BATTERED SHRIMP
I found this recipe on Food Network's website and couldn't believe it wasn't on Zaar! This is a super simple fried shrimp recipe from Paula Deen. I tried this on my shrimp the other night and it was delicious. I also fried some chicken tenders in the batter and they were delicious as well. Make sure you let the beer/flour mixture sit for a few hours before using it.

Steps:
- Mix baking soda, salt, pepper and flour.
- Add melted butter.

- Fry veggies first in hot oil (350 degrees), then fish.
- Drain on paper towels and keep in warm oven while frying.
- Serve with tartar sauce.

Puffy, delicate, yet crispy, coating for the best onion rings you will ever taste! I use this for zucchini spears, banana peppers, green pepper slices, along with shrimp and fish. You can double this recipe if you have more than four people eating. I keep this in a plastic container in the freezer; adding the egg and beer at the moment of mixing. This will make you the hit of the party!

Steps:
- If using onions, I cut them into thick slices (about 1/2") and soak the rings in ice water for about 15 - 30 minutes to get rid of any strong flavor. Drain on paper towels or towel to get dry.
- Mix the dry ingredients together; then add the egg and beer, stirring until smooth and completely blended. You can put the batter in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes while the onions are soaking.
- Dip the rings or choice of veggies, etc. into the batter, making sure all sides are covered.
- Fry the rings in hot oil (about 375 degrees) for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden on all sides. Drain on paper towels and eat as soon as they are cool enough to pick up.

Tips:
- Use cold beer for the batter. This will help the batter stay light and crispy.
- Make sure the batter is thick enough to coat the food evenly. If the batter is too thin, it will not adhere to the food and will not fry properly.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the food. This will cause the food to steam instead of fry and will result in soggy food.
- Fry the food in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the food.
- Do not fry the food for too long. Overcooked food will be tough and dry.
- Drain the food on paper towels after frying to remove any excess oil.
Conclusion:
Beer batter is a versatile batter that can be used to fry a variety of foods, including fish, shrimp, onion rings, and vegetables. It is a light and crispy batter that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy way to fry food, give beer batter a try.
