and deep fried
Hello Barbara,
See below. The same batter was used for the shrimp and the eggplant, except the garlic salt
was eliminated for the eggplant. Fry at 325 to 350 degrees until golden brown.
Phaed
Batter for Shrimp and Eggplant
3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons baking powder
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons paprika
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 cups cold water
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup flour, sifted
salt and pepper to taste
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. Season
shrimp with salt and pepper, roll in 1 cup sifted flour and then
dip in batter, holding shrimp by the tail. Fry at 325 to 350
degrees until golden brown.
For eggplant, peel and slice in 3/4 inch cubes. Soak slices in
cold, salted water for 15 minutes. Drain well and dry. Follow
above procedures except omit garlic salt from batter.
