Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups batter

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large eggs
1 bottle light- or medium-bodied lager (12 ounces), cold
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
Coarse salt
5 cups vegetable oil
2 1/2 to 3 pounds shrimp, firm fish fillets (such as cod), or desired vegetables (such as onions or pepperoncini), cut into pieces if necessary
2 cups buttermilk (if using onions)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until smooth, then whisk in beer. Add 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and whisk until combined. Place 1 cup flour in a shallow bowl. Place a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet; set near stove.
  • In a wide 6-quart pot fitted with a deep-fat or candy thermometer, heat oil to 375 degrees over medium. (The oil should bubble rapidly when a pinch of flour is added.) Working in small batches, lightly coat food in flour, then dip in batter, gently shaking off excess. Fry, turning halfway through, until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch (adjust heat to maintain 375 degrees). With a slotted spoon, transfer food to rack to drain and discard any browned bits of batter. Season immediately with salt. Keep warm in a 200-degree oven.

BATTER

Use this all-purpose batter to coat and fry fish, chicken or even halloumi. The liquid portion could be made using tap water, sparkling water or even beer

Provided by Charlotte Pike

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 3

250g self-raising flour
300ml cold water
1L sunflower or vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Take a large mixing bowl and add the flour and ½ tsp fine salt. Whisk together to incorporate the salt. Add the water and whisk until the batter is completely smooth and the flour is fully combined.
  • Take the oil and pour into a large, sturdy saucepan with high sides. Heat over a high heat until it reaches 200C. To fry your ingredients, dip them in the batter, allowing any excess to run off, and carefully place into the hot oil. Fry until the batter is a rich, golden brown and crisp. The fried ingredients will likely float on top of the oil when cooked, too. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and blot on kitchen towel before serving. Sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt to keep crisp. The batter does not keep well and is best made just before using.

  • Use a deep fryer or large saucepan to fry the food. This will help ensure that the food is cooked evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the fryer. This will cause the food to cook unevenly.
  • Fry the food in small batches. This will help prevent the oil temperature from dropping too much.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the food from the fryer. This will help drain excess oil.
  • Serve the food immediately. Beer-battered food is best served hot and crispy.
