Fried Shrimp-Golden Gate Style
Browned to a turn in light, digestible Snowdrift
Ingredients
- 2 (5-oz.) cans shrimp or 1 (12-oz) package frozen or 1 lb. fresh shrimp
- 1/2 cup sifted flour
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg slightly beaten
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Dash paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Snowdrift for frying
Directions
- Clean shrimp. Sift flour, salt and baking powder. Combine egg and water; stir into flour until smooth. Add seasonings. Melt Snowdrift to a depth of 2 inches in a saucepan. Heat to 375 degrees (or until 1-inch cube day old bread browns in 40 seconds). Dip shrimp in batter, lift out with fork (to drain off excess batter). Fry about 3 minutes, until golden brown.
