List of Ingredients



• 2 lbs. small shrimp
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1 cup dry white wine
  
• 1/2 cup fine cornmeal
  
• 1/2 cup flour
  
• 1 Tbsp fresh chives
  
• 1 garlic clove, minced
  
• 1/2 tsp thyme
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  
• Oil for deep frying
  






Instructions



1. Rinse the shrimp in cold water. Drain well and set aside in a cool place until needed.
   
   
2. Using a fork, whisk together the eggs and dry white wine in a small bowl, then set aside in a cool place.
   
   
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, chives, garlic, thyme, salt, cayenne and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the egg mixture, blending well. Cover the batter and let stand for about 1 hour at room temperature.
   
   
4. Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a large frying pan or deep-fryer to 375 degrees. Dip the shrimp into the batter and fry in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes, turning to color evenly until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
   
   Serve hot with your favorite sauce for dipping.
