Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

ingredients
1 pound medium-size or large raw shrimp
1 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash white pepper
1 cup water
salad oil
Dipping Sauces
ketchup
hot mustard
sweet and sour kumquat sauce
salt-pepper mix
directions
Shell shrimp, but leave the tail sections on for handles. Devein, wash, and pat dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add water and stir until batter is smooth.
In a deep pan, pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches and heat to 375 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer.
Holding shrimp by the tail, dip into batter so it covers shrimp but not the tail, then lower into hot oil. Cook several pieces at a time without crowding, turning occasionally, until crisp and light golden (about 2 to 3 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve with dipping sauce of your choice.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
