12821037, okay cooks...What's a really good batter for frying shrimp?
Posted by Utamaroho, Wed Jun-03-15 11:47 AM
i feel like buying a ton of jumbo shrimp and deep frying them but don't want some cheap ass simple batter.
what kind do you use? store bought? personal mix? any need to use peanut oil or something lighter than regular veggie oil?
put me on.

12821057, panko or a real rich egg batter

depends which direction you wanna take it in, if you want something heavy with a texture that is almost creamy, egg batter, if you want something lighter and crispier, go panko.
i've had fried shrimp that incorporates touches of vanilla or maple flavors (use judicious amounts before soaking in the batter) that came out good, but you have to be careful or it can be too sweet. i more like to put that stuff in drawn butter for lobster than actually use it to fry shrimp or other shellfish.

seems like it'll go better with hot spices added.

12821076, just buy the packaged fish fry mix

available at any reputable (read: black) place you buy seafood
that, some egg, a lil milk (or milk sub if you off that lactose), a lil old bay and you're golden
just make sure the grease is sufficiently hot
....or....
