Ingredients:
1 pound large shrimp, tails on, peeled and deveined (see note)
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup beer
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Canola oil for frying
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Note: Now 1 lb. of shrimp ain't near enough for this family, so I would have to double this recipe.
Season shrimp with salt and pepper.
Using a medium bowl, combine egg, beer, cornmeal, flour and baking powder, season with salt and pepper, mix until smooth.
Heat oil in deep fryer to 350°F.
Add shrimp to batter and stir to coat.
Working in batches, carefully drop shrimp in oil.
Fry until light golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
