can I make fried shrimp with oil, eggs, and flour instead of cracker meal?

Question

please explain ...

Answer 1

You don't even need the eggs:
Beer Batter

Ingredients
1 12 oz can light Beer
1 1/2 cups Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Paprika
1 cup Flour

Directions
Pour the beer into a large bowl. Sift the flour, salt, and paprika into the beer, whisking until the batter is light and frothy. (The batter may be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, but be sure to whisk it occasionally). Heat at least 2 inches of oil in a frying kettle or electric fryer. Just before it reaches 375F, quickly dredge the fish and shrimp with flour, shaking of excess then dip in the beer batter, coating well, and drop them into the hot fat (do this in 2 batches). When they are brown on one side - less than 1 minute - turn and brown them on the other side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges.

Answer 3

You most certainly can! In a med size bowl, take 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Mix together and set aside. Clean, devein and shell shrimp. Scramble 2 eggs, in another small bowl, then dip your (drained and dried off shrimp) into the eggs, then dredge in the flour, covering shrimp.

Heat oil in skillet, approximately 1/2 inch of oil, over medium high heat. When you drop a little of the egg into the oil it should sizzle and float to the top. When that happens, your oil is ready to cook the shrimp. Place shrimp in oil, when shrimp starts to turn pink, turn over in skillet. Let cook approximately 2 minutes, then remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Cocktail sauce: 1/2 cup Ketchup, 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Horseradish, juice of 1/2 lemon. Stir and chill. Enjoy!

If the shrimp is raw, why don't you fry in oil, season it with salt and herbs. They get crunch and delicious with beer.

Abita Battered Shrimp
Ingredients:
2 cups Ice cubes
1 cup Club soda
6 ounces dark Abita beer or any dark beer
1 cup Flour, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
1/4 cup Flour; for dredging
1 teaspoon Salt
8 Egg whites; beaten to soft peaks
3/4 pound Large shrimp; shelled and deveined
Oil; for deep frying

1 cup Tartar sauce of your choice
Parsley sprigs
Lemon wedges

Preheat fryer to 350 degrees or place enough oil in a heavy saute pan to come half way up the side of the pan. Heat the oil until a fry thermometer registers 350 degrees.

In a large bowl place the ice cubes, club soda, and beer, let it sit for 2 hours. Strain out any remaining ice cubes. Place the flour and salt in a medium bowl. While stirring gently, add enough of the beer mixture to the flour so that a thick batter is made. You want the batter thick enough to stick to the shrimp. Fold in the beaten egg whites.

Dredge the shrimp in the 1/4 cup of flour, shaking off excess flour and dip them into the batter. Deep fry the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp and golden, drain on a towel, and serve with the tartar sauce, parsley, and lemon wedges.
