Batter Fried Shrimp Or Scallops Recipes

EASY FRIED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pour buttermilk into a bowl. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
• Immerse 4 or 5 scallops in the bowl of buttermilk. Transfer to the flour mixture; roll around until thickly coated.
• Lower scallops gently into the hot oil. Cook until golden and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining scallops.

DEEP-FRIED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Gather ingredients.
• If scallops are quite large, cut them so the sizes are fairly uniform.
• Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove the tough white side muscle if not already removed.
• Heat about 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a deep, heavy cast-iron skillet, saucepan, or deep fryer to 350 F.
• Line a baking pan or baking sheet with 2 or 3 thicknesses of paper towels and set aside.
• In a bowl, combine flour, salt, paprika, and black pepper.
• In another bowl, whisk eggs with the milk.
• Put the fine breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
• Dip a few of the scallops in the seasoned flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and then roll them in the breadcrumbs to coat. Repeat with the remaining scallops.
• Once the oil has reached the temperature (350 F), add several scallops―about 6 to 10 depending on the pan size―to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Take care not to overcook. They should be warm in the middle, but still moist.
• Remove them from the oil with a metal slotted spoon and transfer them to the paper-towel-lined pan. Shake the pan gently for a few seconds so the scallops roll around and excess oil is absorbed.
• Repeat with subsequent batches.
• Serve immediately with your choice of cocktail sauce , rémoulade sauce , or tartar sauce. Enjoy.

Line a baking sheet with a kitchen towel or paper towels to drain the shrimp once they are cooked.

Wrap a basil leaf around the middle of each shrimp like a belt. When ready to serve, dip the shrimp into the batter and drop, in small batches, into the oil. Fry until crispy, turning on both sides with a slotted metal spoon. Add the lemons into the oil and fry until crispy. Drain them on the lined baking sheet and season immediately with salt.
