INGREDIENTS
| 1 | c | Flour, sifted |
| 1 1/2 | ts | Hungarian paprika (not the tasteless American stuff) salt and pepper to taste |
| 1 | c | Beer |
| 1 | lb | Jumbo shrimp (16-20 per pound) flour for dredging vegetable oil for deep-frying fresh lemon juice (about 1 tsp) Orange Marmalade Sauce (recipe follows) Orange slices and fresh parsley for garnish |
INSTRUCTIONS
Try the batter with mussels and oysters as well. After sifting the flour well, combine it with the other dry ingredients. Gradually add the beer, stirring well with a wire whisk. The consistency of the batter should be that of rather thin pancake batter. Chill for 5-10 minutes. Shell and devein the shrimp. With a sharp knife, cut the back nearly in half to form into a fantail shape. Sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and a little salt. Holding the shrimp by their tails, dip them into the flour first and then into the beer batter. Deep-fry in vegetable oil at 350 degrees. Be careful to place the shrimp one at a time into the oil so that the do not stick together. Fry until crisp and golden brown, a few minutes should do it. Serve with Orange Marmalade Sauce. Garnish the platter with orange slices and fresh parsley. Serves 2-4, depending on appetites. From the files of Al Rice, North Pole Alaska.
