Ingredients
- 1 (8.5-oz) Louisiana Fish Fry Products Beer Batter Mix
- Louisiana Fish Fry Products Fish Taco Sauce, to taste
- 1 cup beer or club soda
- 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 qt. canola or peanut oil
- 8 small corn tortillas, warm
- 1 large ripe mango, pitted and finely chopped
- 4 green onions, sliced thin
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional:
- Cajun Fire Hot Sauce, 8 oz.
PREPARATION
Combine mango, green onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. In a medium bowl, combine Beer Batter Mix with beer or club soda. Heat oil in a deep pot to 350 ̊ F. Working in batches, dip shrimp in Beer Batter. Shake off excess batter then fry shrimp for about 4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. To serve, divide shrimp among tortillas and top with mango salsa or Louisiana Fish Fry Products Taco Sauce. Garnish with coconut flakes.
PRO TIPS
Devein Shrimp
To devein a shrimp, use a short paring knife. Make a shallow slit along the back, then lift the vein with the tip of the knife. Wipe it away with a paper towel, or rinse in cold water. For small shrimp, don’t even bother! The vein only affects aesthetics, not taste or health.
Fry in Batches
When frying big quantities, work in batches. Keep your oven heated to 200 degrees and place your finished food atop a wire rack over a baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven while finishing the rest of the fry.
