Super Hot Rock ‘n Roll Rock Shrimp

Not only is disinterested morality (doing good “for its own sake”) impossible; it is undesirable. That is, it is unbiblical because it would mean that the better a man became the harder it would be for him to act morally. The closer he came to true goodness the more naturally and happily he would do what is good. A good man in Scripture is not the man who dislikes doing good but toughs it out for the sake of duty. A good man loves kindness (Mic. 6:8) and delights in the law of the Lord (Ps. 1:2) and the will of the Lord (Ps. 40:8). But how shall such a man do an act of kindness disinterestedly? The better the man, the more joy in obedience.

INSTRUCTIONS

The following recipe was featured during the presentation of Streets
of Fire during TBS's Dinner & a Movie.  Rinse shrimp with cold water,
place in a mixing bowl and mix well  with the kosher salt. Cover and
refrigerate for 20 minutes. Combine  the egg whites with the garlic,
chili paste, scallions and white  wine. Rinse shrimp well to remove the
salt, pat dry; combine with the  egg white mixture and set aside. In a
large mixing bowl, combine the  corn meal, corn starch, thyme, salt,
cayenne, paprika and black  pepper. Roll the shrimp in the cornmeal
mixture, making sure each is  well coated. Refrigerate until use.
Combine the sauce ingredients in  a food processor or blender and blend
until smooth. Heat 3 to 4  inches of peanut oil in a large, heavy
skillet to a temperature of  365-375Â°F. Fry the shrimp in small
batches for 1-1 1/2 minutes,  turning once to color and cook evenly.
Remove with a slotted spoon  and drain well on paper towels. Pile the
rock shrimp on a platter and  serve with sauce and lemon wedges, secure
in the knowledge that  you're the real hero in this rock shrimp fable.
