Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Pour beer into flour mixture and whisk until combined.

Holding shrimp by tail, dip them into batter, completely coating each shrimp. Place shrimp about 4 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. (Use additional baking sheets, if needed.) Batter will puddle around each shrimp.

Bake 12 to 14 minutes, or until coating is golden and bread-like.

You can substitute all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for self-rising flour, if you prefer.
