  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    The proportions were perfect! I used Diamond Bear Southern Blonde, added a little bit of Cavender's and salt. The batter puffed as soon as I dropped the shrimp in the oil. Yummy! Three of us ate until we thought we'd burst. lol

  2. First Time Fryer REVIEW:

    This recipe is not correct. 1/2 cup of beer created a paste. Needed to add at least another 1/3 cup to create a batter. Also added pepper and garlic to batter. Salted and peppered shrimp before dipping and they came out great!
