Hey Y'all,
Here in the South,
we tend to deep fry anything that sits still long enough. Personally, we have
deep fried turkeys, corn, peanuts, veggies… you name it. I bet you have too. But my most favorite has to be shrimp! We generally have fried shrimp on Christmas
Eve with a low country boil. The bonus
for agreeing to deep fry food is that it can be cooked outside ~ no greasy
smell inside the house. A little tricky
on Christmas Eve, but I can take one for the team to keep that smell away from
all of my yummy Christmas season smells.

I am sharing my go
to recipe for batter that works great on shrimp, onion rings, corn. One of my
Aunt’s shared it with my Mom 35 + years ago and it is still our favorite. It is very light, so you don’t lose the taste
of your food like sometimes happens with a thick batter.
Shrimp Batter
½ c. flour 1 egg, beaten
½ c. milk 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. sugar
Mix all ingredients together with a
whisk. Dip shrimp in mixture and fry
immediately.
This is enough batter for 2 pounds of fresh
shrimp. It would be good to use on fish or onion
rings too. That’s it. Doesn’t that seem super easy? It is easy and
yummy. Hope you enjoy!
Xoxo,
Amy
