Baked Pub-Style Shrimp

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, with tails left on, deveined and rinsed (see Note)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (see Note)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3/4 cup light beer

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.
