The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.

Cut the batter in half (or use it to fry onion rings to serve with the shrimp!). Good recipe, just needs adjustment.

Aside from the fact that you end up with so much breading mixture you could make this recipe 5 times, it's really good. You do not need 2 cups of liquid for only 12 shrimp - and 12 shrimp, do not feed four people. I made this for two people so it was enough shrimp for us (served with other dishes of course) but keep that in mind that you could easily use 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp with the amount of batter here.
