Amount Ingredient
2 cup Ice cubes
1 cup Club soda
6 oz Turbo Dog - (dark Abita beer)
(or any dark beer)
1 cup Flour plus
1/4 cup Flour for dredging
1 tsp Salt
8 x Egg whites beaten to soft peaks
3/4 lb Large shrimp shelled and deveined
Oil for deep frying
----------------- GARNISH ----------------
1 cup Tartar sauce of your choice
Parsley sprigs
Instructions:
Instructions: Preheat fryer to 350 degrees or place enough oil in a heavy saute pan to come half way up the side of the pan. Heat the oil until a fry thermometer registers 350 degrees. In a large bowl place the ice cubes, club soda, and beer, let it sit for 2 hours. Strain out any remaining ice cubes. Place the flour and salt in a medium bowl. While stirring gently, add enough of the beer mixture to the flour so that a thick batter is made. You want the batter thick enough to stick to the shrimp. Fold in the beaten egg whites.

Dredge the shrimp in the 1/4 cup of flour, shaking off excess flour and dip them into the batter. Deep fry the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp and golden, drain on a towel, and serve with the tartar sauce, parsley, and lemon wedges.
