Brief Summary

This video demonstrates how to make crispy beer-battered shrimp. It covers preparing the shrimp, making the batter, creating a crispy coating with panko and citrus pepper seasoning, and frying the shrimp to golden perfection.

• Butterflying and seasoning the shrimp.
• Preparing beer batter with flour, baking soda, egg, beer, and hot sauce.
• Creating a crispy coating using panko and citrus pepper seasoning.
• Frying the shrimp until golden brown.

Preparing the Shrimp

The first step involves preparing one pound of shrimp by butterflying them. Deveining is optional, depending on personal preference. After butterflying and deveining (if desired), the shrimp should be patted dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for ensuring the batter adheres properly and the shrimp becomes crispy when fried.

Making the Beer Batter

Begin by generously seasoning the butterflied shrimp with your preferred Creole seasoning. Then, prepare the beer batter by combining half a cup of flour, a fourth teaspoon of baking soda, salt, one egg, four to six ounces of your favorite beer, and a dash of hot sauce. The batter should have a consistency similar to that shown in the video.

Creating the Crispy Coating

In this step, combine panko breadcrumbs with a citrus pepper seasoning in a separate bowl. This mixture will serve as the crispy coating for the shrimp. The combination of panko and citrus pepper adds both texture and flavor to the final product.

Frying the Shrimp

Dip each shrimp into the beer batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Next, dredge the battered shrimp in the panko mixture, pressing gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere. Carefully place the coated shrimp into the preheated oil (365°F). Fry the shrimp until they are golden brown on both sides. Once fried, remove the shrimp from the oil and allow any excess oil to drain off.
