Shrimp Fritters Monica Bhide Recipes

Steps:

• Coarsely chop shrimp, set aside.
• Beat flour and next 5 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.
• Stir in shrimp, onion, and next 3 ingredients; cover and chill 2 hours.
• Pour oil to a depth of 5 inches into a Dutch oven.
• When oil is hot, drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls, and fry, in batches, 5 minutes or until golden.
• Drain fritters on paper towels.

Steps:

• Season the shrimp lightly with the Essence and set aside.
• In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until the shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a large pot or deep-fryer, heat the oil to 360 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, make the batter by whisking the eggs, milk, baking powder, salt, and cayenne. Add the flour 1/4 cup at a time, beating and incorporating until all is used and the batter is smooth. Stir in the parsley. Add the shrimp mixture and grated zucchini to the batter and fold to mix.
• Using a small ice cream scoop measuring 1 1/2 tablespoons, drop the batter into the hot oil. When the fritters pop to the surface, roll them around with a slotted spoon in the oil to brown them evenly and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with additional Essence.
• Serve hot.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Steps:

• For the cornichon dressing: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, cornichons, Dijon mustard, mustard powder, tarragon and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the shrimp fritters: Heat about 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F.
• In a small mixing bowl, whip the egg whites to medium peaks; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the shrimp, scallions, zucchini, garlic and jalapenos and set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and paprika in a medium bowl. Whisk in the egg yolks and enough of the buttermilk so the mixture is thick and not runny (adjust the amount accordingly). Season with salt and pepper. Fold the shrimp mixture into the batter, followed by the egg whites just to incorporate.
• Drop the fritters into the oil in batches using a small scoop or spoon, about 1 tablespoon each. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes, then drain on paper towels. Immediately season with salt. Serve with the cornichon dressing.

Steps:

• Whisk together sour cream, lemon juice, and ¼ tsp. salt; set aside for serving.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, Old Bay seasoning, and ½ tsp. salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl, then add to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Stir in scallions, jalapeño, shrimp, corn, and cheese.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Working in batches and adding more oil in between, drop ¼-cupfuls corn mixture into skillet, flattening slightly, and cook until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain; season with salt and serve immediately with sour cream sauce and lemon wedges alongside.

Steps:

• 1. Mix beer, flour, cayenne, salt & black pepper together. Set aside for four (4) hours. I'm guessing at the measurements for the rest of the seasoning, so use less or more according to your taste.
• 2. Put the chopped shrimp in a container and sprinkle some Cajun seasoning on them - toss them well to get them all coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to add to batter.
• 3. After four hours mix in the shrimp, green onions, parsley and garlic. *Tip: To test the batter for seasoning, mix up everything without the shrimp and just drop a little of the batter mixture into the hot oil. Taste and adjust if needed. If it's too spicy, add about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of both flour and beer to tame the heat, then take about 1/4 to 1/2 of the batter out and mix the shrimp into the remaining batter. Use reserved batter for something else like fish or onion rings.
• 4. Over medium heat add about 2 inches of oil in a heavy skillet. Heat until oil just starts to shimmer, or to 350* on a candy thermometer.
• 5. Drop by teaspoon size spoonfuls into the hot oil and cook until golden brown on both sides.
• 6. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel lined plate. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with warmed https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/jam/orange-pepper-jelly.html?p=68, or Remoulade sauce, and lemon wedges. C'est ci bon!

Steps:

• Grate 1 teaspoon zest from lemon, then cut in half. Place both halves and 4 cups water in a saucepan; bring to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Add shrimp; return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain; let cool 15 minutes. Peel and cut into a 1/4-inch dice (about 1 1/2 cups).
• Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°F. Whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and lemon zest. Whisk seltzer and egg into dry ingredients. (Batter should have the consistency of thick honey. If too thick, add more seltzer; if too thin, add 1 tablespoon rice flour.) Stir in shrimp.
• Working in batches, and using two tablespoons (one to scoop, one to scrape), drop batter in oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to keep oil between 340° and 350°. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet; sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately with tartar sauce and lemon wedges and zest.

Steps:

• Saute shallots and seasonings with butter.
• Add shrimp or crawfish and cook until pink.
• (5-7 mins.) Add cooked pasta and whipping cream.
• Cook to desired thickness.
• (10-15 mins.) Serve immediately, great with bread.

Steps:

• Butterfly the shrimp. (Hold the shrimp with the rounded back facing you. Using a small, sharp knife, slice along the length of the shrimp, cutting almost but not completely through the shrimp. Gently press the halves of the shrimp outward to flatten it; it will resemble a butterfly.) Set aside. In a shallow bowl, combine the turmeric, chili powder, serrano, ginger, garlic, lemon juice and salt. Mix well. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. Place the flour in another shallow bowl. Coat each shrimp with the spice mixture, brushing off any clumps that form. Then dip the shrimp in the egg, allowing any excess to drop off, and coat with flour. Place the coated shrimp on a platter. Continue until all the shrimp are coated. Discard remaining eggs and flour. In a deep fryer or deep pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Lower the heat to medium and, working in batches, place a few of the shrimp in the pan and deep-fry until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on paper towels to drain.
