This is an absolutely great shrimp dish. It's super simple. Making the batter and breading the shrimp takes about 10 minutes and another 20 to cook them. Better than any fried shrimp you will have, because they don't have any greasy aftertaste. Terrific with slaw and oven baked yam fries as a side dish.
