the wife and i eat a lot of fried shrimp, and plan to continue doing so.

please share your favorite store bought batter.

if you make your own, please share that as well.

thanks

I like golden dipt brand fish fry mix. It is a real light flour like mix. For a little extra crunch I mix two parts of the mix with one part of corn flake crumbs. Still a light coating but a lot more crunch. I dust in plain flour into milk and egg then into the fish fry mix.

I buy a tempura flour like this one

down the Asian market. I put some dry in a bowl, and I mix some with club soda in a thin batter - wet bowl. I put a little Italian seasoning or Old Bay in the batter and roll, dip, and fry. I fried 2 two pound bags of shrimp for the guys during each of the Bruins playoff games. Everyone liked them. I've bought bags of flour mix for quite a few people. I think it's got rice flour or rice starch mixed with the regular flour. I look through the brands for one without MSG, and I've tried a few. All have been good.

thanks men.

ding ding..winner winner shrimp dinner!! That's what I use it makes a very light batter that doesn't hide the shrimp flavor. Now if you are buying those farm raised imported shrimp, a heavy batter with lot's of spices might be warranted!!

Louisiana Shrimp Fry is the one I like best.

Man, that is really hard to do to an Alaska Spot or Side Stripe:)

Shrimp is to good to cover in batter

Batter? I would NEVER use batter. Lightly breaded, yes, batter, no way.

I think tempura, done properly, is a light batter.

That's what I use, or something similar I suspect. My brother turned me on to it, having spent a long time in Asia many years ago. I use it mostly for deep frying oysters.

You cook your oysters?

Sometimes, then douse them in lemon juice and hot sauce...nice variation.

Agreed, Oysters are not meant to be cooked!

Disagree - A fried oyster Po-Boy is a thing of wonder.

fried or raw, I am not eating anything that looks like snot.

Close your eyes.

Through another shrimp on the barbie for Tempura Flour.
