    List of Ingredients




    1 pound shrimp
    1/2 c beer
    1/2 c flour
    1 egg white beaten stiffly
    1 dash salt
    4 c cooking oil
    1 beaten egg
    1/2 c catsup
    1 Tb melted butter
    4 drops Tabasco

    Recipe



    Sift the flour and salt and stir in the butter and egg. Add the beer gradually, stirring only until smooth. Let the batter stand in a warm place for 1 hour. Then fold in the beaten egg white. Peel the shrimp and, using a the point of a bottle opener, dig out the black vein from the inner curve of each shrimp.

    Heat the oil to 375 degrees. Dip the shrimp into the batter and then fry a few at a time until golden brown. Remove the shrimp and drain on paper towels.
    When all shrimp are cooked, serve with seafood sauce made of catsup and Tabasco, with lemon wedges on the side.
