    List of Ingredients




    Abita Battered Shrimp


    2 cups ice cubes
    1 cup club soda
    6 ounces turbo dog - -- (dark abita beer)
    (or any dark beer)
    1 cup flour -- plus
    1/4 cup flour -- for dredging
    1 teaspoon salt
    8 egg whites -- beaten to soft
    -- peaks
    3/4 pound large shrimp -- shelled and
    -- deveined
    oil -- for deep frying

    === garnish ===

    1 cup tartar sauce of your choice
    parsley sprigs
    lemon wedges



    Recipe



    Preheat fryer to 350 degrees or place enough oil in a heavy saute pan to come half way up the side of the pan. Heat the oil until a fry thermometer registers 350 degrees. In a large bowl place the ice cubes, club soda, and beer, let it sit for 2 hours. Strain out any remaining ice cubes. Place the flour and salt in a medium bowl.

    While stirring gently, add enough of the beer mixture to the flour so that a thick batter is made. You want the batter thick enough to stick to the shrimp. Fold in the beaten egg whites. Dredge the shrimp in the 1/4 cup of flour, shaking off excess flour and dip them into the batter. Deep fry the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp and golden, drain on a towel, and serve with the tartar sauce, parsley, and lemon wedges.

    Serves: 2
