Yield Makes 6 appetizer servings
Number Of Ingredients 26
Steps:
- Make the sweet chile aioli:
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of the aioli ingredients. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
- Make the apple slaw:
- In a small bowl, toss together all of the slaw ingredients, cover, and keep chilled until ready to serve.
- Batter and fry the shrimp:
- Line a baking sheet with 2 layers of paper towels.
- In a heavy large pot, heat 3 inches of oil until a deep-fat thermometer registers 350°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, stir together beer and tempura mix-the mixture should be about as thick as pancake batter.
- Lightly coat the shrimp in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the tempura batter. Working in batches, fry the shrimp until light golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer as done to the prepared baking sheet and return oil to 350°F between batches.
- Transfer the fried shrimp to a small bowl, add sweet chile aioli, and gently toss to coat.
- To serve:
- Divide the apple slaw among 6 small appetizer plates. Arrange about 6 shrimp on each plate and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. They hold their shape well in the slaw and provide a nice contrast to the sweet dressing.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing better and make them easier to eat.
- Use a sharp knife or mandoline: This will ensure that the apple slices are even and consistent in size.
- Don't overdress the slaw: A little dressing goes a long way. You can always add more if needed, but it's hard to take it out once it's been added.
- Let the slaw chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to thicken.
Conclusion:
Creamy apple slaw is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet, tangy, and creamy flavor, this slaw is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic.
