Batter-Fried Shrimp - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled & deveined
1/2 cup oil
1 egg, beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon salt
oil (for deep frying)

Preparation

Preheat oil to 350 degrees.
Combine 1/2 cup oil and egg; beat well.
Add remaining ingredients except oil for frying and stir until well blended.
Dip shrimp into batter to coat.
Drop shrimp into hot oil and fry for 30-60 seconds or until golden brown.

Add a 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to batter to make a much lighter crust, or use beer instead of milk for a barley flavor.
