Those Florida Guys seasonings used in this recipe:
Yields: 6-8 Servings | Prep Time: 30 Minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes
Process:
1 | Peel and devein shrimp, leaving the tails on.
2 | Give shrimp a good rinse under cold water to make sure they’re fully cleaned. Pat dry.
3 | Place shrimp in a bowl and add 1-2 tbsp. Sunburn (to taste). Toss to coat.
4 | Let marinate for 15 minutes.
5 | Meanwhile, add ¾ c. flour and 1 tbsp. SPF 7 to a shallow dish. Mix to combine.
6 | Slowly whisk in beer to the flour SPF 7 mix until you get a thick batter that resembles pancake batter.
7 | In a 9x13 dish add cornflakes. Using the bottom of a glass, press down on cornflakes to break them into small bits. You want some fine and some chunky bits.
8 | Add the peanut oil to the widest pot you have and heat to 375 degrees.
9 | While oil is coming to temp, hold the tail of each shrimp and dip it into the SPF 7 beer batter to fully coat all sides, but not the tail.
10 | Lay dipped shrimp in the cornflake dish, then flip to coat the second side. Using your hands press down on shrimp to help corn flake crumbs stick.
11 | Lift shrimp by the tails and gently lower into fry oil, about 5-7 per batch, being careful not to crowd the pot.
12 | Cook 2-3 min, stirring and flipping as shrimp cooks.
13 | Once coating is golden brown transfer to a wire rack to allow excess oil to drain off.
14 | While the oil is still hot, sprinkle the shrimps with more SPF 7 to taste.
15 | Serve hot with your favorite chili sauce or cocktail sauce for dipping.
16 | Enjoy!
