Shrimp in batter in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make battered shrimp in a frying pan at home? It's very simple and fast! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can replace king prawns with any other type of shrimp to your taste. It is better to put the water in the refrigerator in advance so that the water is ice cold.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove the head and shell from the shrimp. Leave the tail. It makes it convenient to dip shrimp in batter. Make an incision on the back and remove the dark vein. Rinse the shrimp again and dry. If the shrimp are frozen, defrost them first on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.

3. STEP 3

   

   How to make deep-fried shrimp batter? Sift the flour into a bowl. Add salt and ground pepper.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour in ice water, add the yolk. Stir the batter with a whisk until smooth. The dough should be thick. Leave the batter for 2-3 minutes so that it thickens a little more when the gluten is released from the flour. The batter should be viscous enough so that it does not flow off the shrimp like water. If the batter is too liquid, add a little more flour.

5. STEP 5

   

   Holding the shrimp by the tails, dip them into the batter.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or saucepan over high heat. There may be more or less oil depending on the diameter of your pan, as long as it completely covers the shrimp. Place the battered shrimp into the boiling oil. Fry until golden brown.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the cooked shrimp from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess fat.

8. STEP 8

   

   Serve crispy battered shrimp hot or cold with any sauces. Bon appetit!

I could barely eat it. I really liked the fried shrimp. I also recommend the delicious version of fried shrimp with garlic.

I was interested in the recipe for shrimp in batter in a frying pan. They look very appetizing. My shrimp were quite small. It would be better, of course, if they were big. These are easier to clean and fry. But it turned out very tasty with little ones too. The battered shrimp turned out to be especially appetizing and aromatic. I cooked it with 300 grams of shrimp (weight with shells), they were eaten instantly. I think this is the most important indicator that it turned out delicious. Both adults and children liked the shrimp. Next time I’ll cook more. Maria, thank you very much for the wonderful recipe!

A great appetizer for any meal, especially with beer! I've had a pound of frozen, peeled shrimp in my refrigerator for a couple of weeks now. I no longer had any desire to boil or fry them, as I usually did. That's why I set out in search of a new culinary recipe with this seafood. I found a recipe for a food like shrimp in batter in a frying pan that was quite simple and very suitable in terms of ingredients. Thanks for the recipe!
