Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Skewers
- 300g shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Wooden skewers or sticks
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
For Frying
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp skewers: Insert wooden skewers into the shrimp, about 2-3 shrimp per skewer to ensure even cooking and easy handling during frying.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and Alfredo sauce until smooth and uniform.
- Make the batter: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a thick, smooth batter forms that can coat the shrimp skewers evenly.
- Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large pot and heat it to 350°F (175°C), monitoring to maintain temperature for perfect frying.
- Batter the shrimp skewers: Dip each shrimp skewer into the batter, ensuring an even coating on all sides to create a crispy crust.
- Fry the shrimp sticks: Carefully place the battered shrimp skewers into the hot oil, frying for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fried shrimp corn dog sticks from the oil and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature stays consistent at 350°F for even frying and to prevent greasy sticks.
- You can use store-bought Alfredo sauce or homemade for a richer flavor.
- Wooden skewers should be soaked in water for 10-15 minutes before use to prevent burning during frying.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- Variation: Add a pinch of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the batter for extra flavor.
