Рецепт Crisp Cornmeal Shrimp

by Barbara

I've been posting quite a few shrimp recipes because along with scallops, they are my favorite quick dinner. I've made any number of versions of Cathy's cornmeal shrimp recipe for years and I bet you have too. But the other night I decided to take a photo and post it for the blog. I like that she added some Old Bay seasoning and makes her own tartar sauce, as do I. Cathy most often uses frozen shrimp for this, but because I live on the Florida coast, finding fresh shrimp is never a problem for me. Either way will work. P.S. Are you wondering what that lobster claw is doing sticking out from under the shrimp? Those are my lobster plates....I love the oval shape and use them frequently for the blog. Crisp Cornmeal Shrimp From Noble Pig Ingredients: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 large  eggs, lightly beaten 1 pound frozen peeled and deveined large shrimp w/tail on, thawed tartar sauce lemon wedges Method: Combine flour, cornmeal, salt and Old Bay Seasoning in a bowl. In another bowl, lightly beat two eggs. Dip the shrimp in the eggs, then coat in the cornmeal mixture. In a skillet, cook the shrimp until golden brown and crisp in a 1/2" of canola oil, about 3 minutes (about 5-8 at a time). Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Keep warm in a low oven until all the shrimp are cooked. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce for dipping. My tartar sauce: To mayonnaise, I add a squeeze of lemon juice, sweet pickle relish to taste, a little grated onion and pepper.
