Fast, easy, and delicious! It's very important to paper towel dry those shrimp so the batter will stick! I estimated the spices to my liking and it worked great. I had no green onion, so I chose dried cilantro for that. I too used garlic powder and also Adobe seasoning. Like Nimz, I too had to add more beer as the batter was just too doughy (yes, you could make hush puppies from the thick batter). In keeping with the spicy theme, I served mine with a splash of fresh lime juice and slices. And of course, beer. What brand, why 'Blue' moon of course, lol. Thanks for a great recipe! -
These shrimp are AMAZING... super-flavorful, pretty to look at, and juicy in the center. I too added Adobo seasoning, and added a bit more beer for a less thick batter. I had some leftover batter, so I ended up making hush puppies that were almost has good as the shrimp themselves. I will be making this recipe often, I think. -
Add my 5 stars to the rest because this recipe is a winner. Loved the crisp yummy coating and the tender shrimp inside. Served on green leaf lettuce with a dipping bowl of red cocktail sauce they tasted every bit as good as they looked. A great recipe to have at hand when you want something quick, easy and delicious, -
Scrumptious shrimp! My husband even helped me fry them up tonight. My daughter loved them, and she doesn't even like seafood. :) Thank you for sharing this delish recipe! -

Very quick easy, nice dinner. I made some without the cayenne and chili powder for the kids, and DS and I had it with. We absolutely loved these. Great meal . Also I added the spices again and made a batch of french fries with this. Saving this one. Made for Zaar Stars.

oh these are wonderful, I made only one change to this, I used garlic powder in place of salt and used 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt, the cayenne amount was perfect, I will make this again soon, thanks for sharing loof!
