team gets a first down by eating one of these delicious fritters.
Ingredients:
1 pound (31-35 count) shrimp, cooked, peeled and deveined
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cracked black pepper
½ tsp granulated garlic
2 large eggs
¼ cup beer
½ cup diced onions
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
½ cup sliced green onions
¼ cup whole kernel corn, drained
¼ cup chopped parsley
2 tbsps minced garlic
½ tsp chopped thyme
vegetable oil for frying
Method:
Coarsely chop shrimp and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine
flour, baking powder, salt, cracked black pepper, granulated garlic,
eggs and beer. Beat until smooth. Stir in shrimp, onions, jalapenos,
green onions, corn, parsley, garlic and thyme. Cover and chill 2
hours. In a home-style deep fryer, such as a FryDaddy, heat oil
according to manufacturer's directions. If a deep fryer is not available,
pour 5 inches of vegetable oil into a Dutch oven and heat to 375°F.
Drop batter by rounded tablespoons. Fry, a few at a time, 3-5 minutes
or until golden brown. Drain fritters on paper towels. Serve with
your favorite dipping sauce.
