Beer Battered Shrimp Recipe

Combine 1 cup flour with the cayenne, salt, sugar and baking powder in a medium bowl. Add beer all at once and whisk until smooth. Set aside at least 1/2 hour.

Heat oil to 350 in a large saucepan. Test oil by sprinkling a few drops of batter and if they rise to the surface, the oil is ready. Toss the shimps in the flour for dusting and toss to coat evnely, then pat off excess.

Drop a few at a time first in the batter then into the hot oil and fry until lightly golden and crispy, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
