BEER BATTER SHRIMP FRITTERS

Steps:

• 1. Mix beer, flour, cayenne, salt & black pepper together. Set aside for four (4) hours. I'm guessing at the measurements for the rest of the seasoning, so use less or more according to your taste.
• 2. Put the chopped shrimp in a container and sprinkle some Cajun seasoning on them - toss them well to get them all coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to add to batter.
• 3. After four hours mix in the shrimp, green onions, parsley and garlic. *Tip: To test the batter for seasoning, mix up everything without the shrimp and just drop a little of the batter mixture into the hot oil. Taste and adjust if needed. If it's too spicy, add about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of both flour and beer to tame the heat, then take about 1/4 to 1/2 of the batter out and mix the shrimp into the remaining batter. Use reserved batter for something else like fish or onion rings.
• 4. Over medium heat add about 2 inches of oil in a heavy skillet. Heat until oil just starts to shimmer, or to 350* on a candy thermometer.
• 5. Drop by teaspoon size spoonfuls into the hot oil and cook until golden brown on both sides.
• 6. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel lined plate. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with warmed https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/jam/orange-pepper-jelly.html?p=68, or Remoulade sauce, and lemon wedges. C'est ci bon!

SHRIMP FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients (except the oil) in a bowl and mix well.
• The mixture might seem very dry at first, but eventually, it will become slightly watery.
• Heat up a wok with enough oil for shallow-frying. As soon as the oil is fully heated, lower it to medium heat. Use a tablespoon to scoop up a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and gently drop it into the wok. Repeat the same until the oil is 80% filled with the shrimp fritters (you will have to fry in 2-3 batches depending on the size of your wok).
• Turn the shrimp fritters over and fry until both sides are golden brown. Dish out with a strainer, draining excess oil by laying the shrimp fritters on a dish lined with paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite chili sauce.

• Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add 1 heaping Tablespoon at a time (or a level ice cream scoop) and flatten out the tops of your fritters as you go so they are about 1/2" thick patties. Saute about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown on the edges and cooked through.

Whisk seltzer and egg into dry ingredients. (Batter should have the consistency of thick honey. If too thick, add more seltzer; if too thin, add 1 tablespoon rice flour.) Stir in shrimp.
• Working in batches, and using two tablespoons (one to scoop, one to scrape), drop batter in oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to keep oil between 340° and 350°.
