Grand Central Station Oyster Bar's Beer-Battered Shrimp Recipe

directions

Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails on. Separate eggs; set whites aside for later use. Whisk egg yolks, beer, 1 Tbsp. oil and soy sauce in a bowl; blend well until smooth.

Heat oil for frying to 375 degrees F in a heavy deep skillet, Dutch oven or deep fryer.

Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter. Holding shrimp by the tail, dip into flour and then into the egg batter, coating well. Fry shrimp a few at a time, until golden brown, about 3 or 4 minutes. Do not overcook! Drain on paper towels.

Serve hot and with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce.

NOTE: This batter also is great with onion rings, mushrooms, artichoke hearts or thinly sliced zucchini.
