my fried shrimps recipe: crispy fried shrimps with a beer batter and a semi-healthy tartar sauce
Ingredients for a dozen shrimps
- 12 shrimps (I used prawns)
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 cups of vegetable frying oil
Batter:
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 4 tablespoons of kefir
- 1/2 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 4 tablespoons of beer
For the tartar sauce
- 1/2 cup of kefir
- 3 pickled onions (the small ones)
- 1/2 handful of parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of mustard
Deshell and clean the shrimps (leave the tail). Mix the first two spoons of flour with salt and pepper. Cover the shrimps with the flour, make it adhere completely, then shake off the loose one.
Put all the tartar sauce ingredients (except kefir) in a blender, pulse a couple of seconds. Add the kefir and mix well. Serve in a bowl.
Heat up the frying oil in a fryer or pan (180°C/350°F). Display a few layers of kitchen paper on a plate.
Mix the batter ingredients. Coat each shrimp in the batter, holding them by the tail. Fry them 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove shrimps (I suggest frying up to 4 at the time) and place them over the kitchen paper, to absorb excess oil.
Serve the fried shrimps immediately, accompanied by the tartar sauce.

A boat, the northern sea, young junk food eaters… I couldn’t but come up with a fried shrimps recipe!
