One more take on the imitation fish…
2 (200-gram) packages imitation shrimp, defrosted
2 (12-ounce) bottles of beer
2 cups flour
2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
2 tablespoons peanut oil (use grapeseed if you have allergies)
Accompaniment: Cocktail Sauce (add a little fresh cilantro to the cocktail sauce for some extra zing!)
In a large bowl, soak shrimp in beer for about 3 hours.
In a large freezer-strength Ziploc bag, mix flour and seasoning. Remove shrimp from beer and add to flour mixture. Shake to coat.
Heat oil to medium-high in wok or large frying pan. Sauté shrimp until crisp; 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve immediately or at room temperature with cocktail sauce.
Is that real shrip in the photo? My shrimp looks nothing like it….Just want to know if I did something wrong. Thank you.
This is made with imitation shrimp. It looks like the imitation crab but is shaped like shrimp. different companies may have a different look.
How many people does this serve? Can this be served as an appetizer?
Serves 6 as an appetizer. That’s the way I serve it too.
