Fried Shrimp Batter

"This recipe originated from a former co-worker and I've made a few minor adjustments in the quantities. You can adjust the seasonings to your own taste. The cooking time for shrimp is minimal so please do not make the mistake of overcooking your shrimp. One of my favorite ways of eating the shrimp is to drop them in a salad of Romaine lettuce and Blue Cheese dressing."

  1. I made the recipe exactly as written. Batter is light but has far too much creole seasoning. It's best to turn the shrimp over when they are beginning to turn a golden color.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Living in the south we are very lucky to have an abundance of fresh seafood and other ingredients at our disposal when trying new recipes. My husband and I both love to cook and have learned a lot about cooking from our native Louisianian, Paul Prudhomme (we learned to be very careful with his recipes as they are very spicy - even for us), native New Orleanian, Frank Davis and transplanted Emeril Lagasse. It would be very difficult to pick an all time favorite cookbook since I have approximately 200. I enjoy collecting local cookbooks as well as others from different areas. This picture is obviously when DH and I got married. I cooked all the food and even made my wedding cake.
