Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • 60 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 120 ml Alcohol, Beer

  • 7 g Baking powder

  • 24 pieces Fish, shrimp

Steps

  1. Peel the shrimp tails, leaving the last segment and the tail intact. Clean the peeled tails if necessary (remove the main vein). Then rinse them and dry with paper towels.

  2. In a large bowl, use a hand whisk (or electric mixer) to mix the egg, flour, beer, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a smooth batter without lumps forms. Prepare two plates; sprinkle flour on one and coconut flour on the other.

  3. Line a baking sheet (or a large plate) with parchment paper. Hold the shrimp by the tail, first coat it in flour, then dip it in the batter, and finally roll it in the coconut flour. Place it on the baking sheet. Repeat the process to prepare all the peeled tails. Store the baking sheet with shrimp in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  4. Heat the oil well in a deep pan (to about 175 degrees Celsius). Fry the shrimp tails in batches in the hot oil. Fry the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes, turning them once. Remove the fried shrimp with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with kitchen towels.

  5. Serve the fried shrimp on plates and accompany with any sauce or side dish of your choice.

Advice

Fry in a large amount of fat. The food should float in it. For frying, use fats that do not contain water, such as coconut oil or good quality oil. The frying fat is hot enough when small bubbles form around a wooden spoon handle.
