This reacipe was clipped years ago. Apparently the recipe was given to the Knight-Ridder News Service by Haldon M. Johnson who was a Senior Vice President of Morrison's at the time. Morrison's Batter Dipped Shrimp was a favorite dish. Louisiana Hot Sauce can be substituted for some of the water. (1 cup is Fiery)

Ingredients

• 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoons baking powder
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 3 teaspons paprika
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 3 cups cold water
• 1 teapoon garlic salt
• 1 cup flour, sifted

Step 1

For shrimp, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and paprika. Add beaten egg, water and garlic salt and blend well using a wire whisk. Clean shrimp but do not remove tails.
