Ale Battered Shrimp With Tartar Sauce Food

EASY FRIED SHRIMP AND TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer. Heat over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a cooling rack.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour and beer until a smooth batter is formed. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
• Lightly salt the shrimp. Holding the tails, dip the shrimp into the batter to evenly coat on both sides.
• One by one, gently drop the battered shrimp into the hot oil. Fry, flipping once if necessary, until golden brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes. While frying the shrimp, be sure to monitor the temperature of the oil and maintain it at 375 degrees F. Transfer the fried shrimp to the cooling rack and sprinkle generously with salt.
• Serve the fried shrimp with Tartar Sauce for dipping.
• Mix the mayonnaise, dill, cornichons, vinegar, capers, mustard and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving.

BEER-BATTERED FISH WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all the tartar sauce ingredients in a bowl with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the oven to 200°. Cover a cookie sheet with paper towels and top with a wire rack.
• Heat about 3" of oil to approximately 365° in a medium sized pot.
• Meanwhile, mix flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in egg. Slowly add the beer while whisking.
• Dip fish pieces in the batter and place on plate or the wire rack you will be using to drain the fried fish. I usually double dip in the batter if I have some left over once the batter dries on the awaiting fish.
• Place fish pieces, two at a time in the oil. Cook until the fish is done and the crust is lightly golden, about 4 minutes for 3/4-inch thick fillets.
• Remove fish with tongs and put on rack to drain. Sprinkle salt over the hot fish and put the baking sheet in the oven.
• Repeat in batches with the remaining fish.
• Serve with the tartar sauce.

BEER-BATTERED HALIBUT WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• For the tartar sauce: In a bowl, add the parsley, tarragon, shallot, and cornichon. Chop the hard boiled egg by removing the yolk and crumbling it, then dice the white. Add both yolk and whites to the bowl. Add vinegar, salt, mustard, mayonnaise, and a few dashes of hot sauce (or more to taste). Stir to combine and set aside.
• For the beer batter: In a large mixing bowl, mix the cake flour and baking soda with a fork. Slowly pour in the beer, stirring the entire time (it's okay if there are a few lumps). The batter should be thin, falling off the fork easily so it coats the fish, not heavy like pancake batter. Set aside.
• Fry the halibut: Fill a deep heavy-bottomed pan with oil-don't go higher than 2 inches from the rim-and heat to 350 degrees F. Season the halibut with salt on both sides. Test the oil by cooking a few drops of batter; they should float to the surface when the oil's hot enough. Remove these "tester crunchies" with a slotted spoon. One piece at a time, drop the fish into the beer batter, then remove it, letting the excess drip off. Then place it halfway into the oil, letting a crust form for 10 seconds, then releasing it gently into the pan. Repeat with two more pieces (three at a time), so the pan isn't overcrowded and cook each for 3-4 minutes. Remove the fish to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Season with flaky sea salt and serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
