Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 quart vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup beer
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp, tail-on
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Tartar Sauce, recipe follows, for serving
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
1 tablespoon minced cornichons
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons chopped capers (rinsed and drained)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer. Heat over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a cooling rack.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour and beer until a smooth batter is formed. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
  • Lightly salt the shrimp. Holding the tails, dip the shrimp into the batter to evenly coat on both sides.
  • One by one, gently drop the battered shrimp into the hot oil. Fry, flipping once if necessary, until golden brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes. While frying the shrimp, be sure to monitor the temperature of the oil and maintain it at 375 degrees F. Transfer the fried shrimp to the cooling rack and sprinkle generously with salt.
  • Serve the fried shrimp with Tartar Sauce for dipping.
  • Mix the mayonnaise, dill, cornichons, vinegar, capers, mustard and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound large or jumbo shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed (fresh or frozen and thawed))
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground chipotle chili
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 to 8 corn or flour tortillas
Garnishes: avocados (cilantro, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime wedges)
1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic (peeled)
1/2 small jalapeno (seeds and membranes removed)
1/4 cup tightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Zest and juice of 1 large or 2 very small limes (about 2 teaspoons zest and 3 tablespoons juice)
2 cups shredded cabbage ( or slaw mix)

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat the shrimp dry, then transfer to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the chili powder, chipotle chili, cumin, and salt. Toss to coat evenly. Let rest while you prepare the shrimp taco sauce and slaw.
  • Prepare the sauce and slaw: In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, process the Greek yogurt, olive oil, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, lime zest, and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. Place the cabbage in a mixing bowl and toss with about 1/2 cup of the sauce. Add more sauce if you desire a creamier slaw, then reserve the rest of the sauce for serving.
  • Cook the shrimp: In a large nonstick skillet over medium high, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the shrimp and sauté just until the shrimp is cooked through and no longer translucent in the center, about 4 minutes. Do not overcook! Transfer the shrimp immediately to a plate.
  • Warm the tortillas (optional) and assemble the tacos: If you like, warm the tortillas in the microwave (put them in a stack and cover them with a lightly damp towel) or a 250 degree F oven while the shrimp cook. To serve, fill the tortillas with your desired number of shrimp, then top generously with the slaw, extra sauce, a squeeze of lime juice, and any other desired toppings. Enjoy immediately.
