Fried Shrimp With Squid Recipes

Steps:

• To make the batter, place the flour, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add 2 egg yolks. Start beating with a whisk and stir in the beer, the tablespoon of vegetable oil and curry powder. Blend well. Cover and let stand.
• In another bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Using a rubber spatula, fold them into the batter. Let the mixture stand, covered, until ready to use.
• In a mixing bowl, add the remaining egg yolk, the garlic, mustard, Tabasco sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper. Blend well and add one cup of olive or vegetable oil in a thin stream while beating vigorously. When the mixture is thick and smooth, stir in the basil or other herb. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Cut the squid bodies into very thin rounds about a quarter-inch thick. Slice the tentacles into bite-size pieces.
• Heat the oil to 360 degrees in a deep fryer. Place the shrimp and squid in the batter and stir to coat well. Drop the shrimp and squid pieces into the oil a few at a time without crowding them. Fry and stir until they are crisp and lightly golden brown, about one minute for each batch. Remove them and drain on paper towels. Keep warm and continue cooking in batches until all the pieces are done. Serve immediately with the sauce.

Steps:

• Pour enough oil into a deep fryer or deep, heavy bottomed pot so the shrimp can be submerged completely. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, whisk the buttermilk, hot sauce, blackened seasoning and eggs in a large bowl. Put the seafood breading in a shallow bowl. Put the shrimp in the buttermilk mixture to evenly coat, then drain. Immediately toss the shrimp in the seafood breading. Remove the shrimp from the breading and gently shake away excess breading. (Using a wide-mesh strainer works best.)
• Carefully fry the shrimp in batches in the hot oil until they float to the top, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• In a medium size mixing bowl combine shrimp, salt and pepper; stir.
• Heat oil in a medium size saucepan. In another medium size mixing bowl stir together eggs, flour and baking powder. Dredge shrimp in egg mixture then fry in oil until they are golden.
