Can you batter and fry pre cooked shrimp

#|

This is particularly the case if you cook it at a high temperature, which means the batter will crisp up quickly. With all these you need to start with shrimp that are fully thawed and patted as dry as possible. To make buttermilk fried shrimp, dip each shrimp in buttermilk, roll in seasoned flour until well coated, shake off any excess flour and then fry. Traditional southern fried shrimp recipes swap some or all of the flour for cornmeal.

To make breaded shrimp, roll the shrimp first in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs, before frying. For a drier, crisper result, use Japanese-style Panko breadcrumbs. For tempura-style shrimp, America's Test Kitchen from KCET TV station says simply whisking this list of ingredients together gives the very best result these quantities make four servings of fried shrimp batter :. In an interview with Eater , renowned tempura chef Kiyoshi Chikano from New York's Michelin-starred Tempura Matsui restaurant recommends peanut oil for frying, which he says maintains a very high temperature and makes the food fried in it much crispier.

According to the USDA , peanut oil also has a much higher proportion of unsaturated mono- and polyunsaturated fat than saturated fat, which is better for health. Specifically, an American Heart Association review published in the June issue of Circulation says there are benefits to the heart when saturated fats in the diet are replaced by unsaturated fat.

The recommended cooking temperature for frying cooked shrimp — whether you're talking about buttermilk fried shrimp, breadcrumb-coated shrimp or a tempura-style fried shrimp batter — is degrees Fahrenheit degrees Celsius. If I can do it, you can do it. In order to make this yummy crispy fried shrimp you need just a handful of spices and other ingredients:.

Begin with a large pot on the stovetop. Add enough oil to fill up at least an inch on the bottom. Set the heat to medium and allow the oil to heat up while you prepare the shrimp. Check it with a candy thermometer. Prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining them or use precooked shrimp which has already been peeled and deveined. I like to leave the tails on, but you can take them off if you like.

Next, mix together the pepper, salt, and garlic powder with a fork and add half of it to the bowl of shrimp. Give the bowl of shrimp a good toss in the spices and then add the other half of the spices and toss or stir with a fork. Take a bowl and whisk two eggs. Now take the shrimp and dip it into the flour then into the egg, and then into the bowl of bread crumbs. I find panko bread crumbs get a little more crispy than traditional bread crumbs.

Make sure the shrimp gets fully coated. Hold the shrimp by the tail right near the top of the oil and then drop it in. You can do 5 to 7 at a time. Fry the shrimp until they get golden brown and are crispy, usually a few minutes. If they are uncooked shrimp they will take a little longer to cook, but only around 3 minutes or so to get nice crispy fried shrimp.

The oil temp may drop after a few batches, if that occurs, allow it come back up to temp before frying some more. Remove the shrimp with tongs, slotted spoon, or spider strainer. Spider strainers are awesome because they are super safe in hot oil. Tongs will be as well. Just be careful if using any plastic utensils that they are safe to put in hot oil.

Place the shrimp on a plate lined with paper towel and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Dip them in your favorite sauce and enjoy! You can definitely bake these shrimp in the oven. Add the shrimp to a sheet pan with a silicone mat or spray it with cooking spray. Bake until brown and crispy about 10 to 15 minutes. It is a good idea to keep the fried shrimp in a single layer on the plate after frying. If you stack them too much the ones on the bottom may or may not get a little soft.

Take your crispy fried shrimp and place it in an airtight container and put it in the fridge. It will get soft but you can store it for a few days in the fridge.
