Ingredients

• Vegetable oil
• 1 pound fish fillet or 1 pound uncooked peeled deveined large shrimp, thawed if frozen
• 3 to 4 tablespoons Original Bisquick® mix
• 1 cup Original Bisquick® mix

Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oil (1 1/2 inches) in heavy saucepan or deep fryer to 350ºF. Lightly coat fish with 3 to 4 tablespoons Bisquick mix.
2 Mix remaining ingredients with hand beater until smooth. (If batter is too thick, stir in additional beer, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.) Dip fish into batter, letting excess drip into bowl.
