1/2 cup milk
1 cup all−purpose flour, stirred before measuring
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 pounds fresh or frozen whole shrimp
Oil (for deep−fat frying)
Choice of sauces (following)
Beat together eggs and milk until frothy. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to egg
mixture; add oil and beat until mixture is smooth and well blended. Set aside.
Remove shells from shrimp, leaving tails on. If shrimp are frozen, remove shells under running cold
water. Cut partway through lengthwise along outside curve. Lift out vein; wash shrimp and flatten so
they stay open. Drain well on paper towels.
Place enough oil or shortening to more than cover shrimp in a deep−fat fryer or kettle and heat to 375
degrees F. Dip shrimp into batter, one at a time, and fry, a few at a time, about 4 minutes, or until
golden brown and puffy. Drain on paper towels.
Serve immediately with choice of sauces.
