Iacofano's Dynamite Shrimp
Ingredients:
1# Shrimp, peeled & deveined
Sauce:
½ cup Mayonnaise
¼ cup Thai Chili Sauce
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Batter:
12 oz. Peroni
1 ½ cups Flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Cooking Method:
In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, chili sauce, salt & pepper & whisk until smooth. Set aside for the shrimp.
Pour the beer into a large bowl. Sift the flour, salt & pepper into the bowl & whisk vigorously until the batter is light & frothy. Heat at least 2 inches of vegetable oil in a tall sauce pot with at least 4 inches of clearance so the oil does not boil over. Bring the oil to 350 degrees. Dredge the shrimp in the beer batter, coating well and drop them in the hot oil (do this in two batches).
When they are lightly brown on both sides, remove with a slotted spoon. Add to the sauce and mix, coating the shrimp thoroughly. Garnish with lemon and serve.
