BATTERED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pour the beer into a medium-size bowl and stir in the vodka. Slowly whisk in the flour and the paprika. The batter should be fairly thick, but also easy to stir. Set aside in a warm place. "Press" the garlic clove into another bowl and stir in the olive oil and shrimp. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside. Pour the oil into a heavy-bottomed pot (or, alternatively, a deep-fryer). Heat the oil slowly to 370 F. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Line a baking sheet with a kitchen towel or paper towels to drain the shrimp once they are cooked.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Arrange the basil leaves on a sheet pan. Put the pan in the oven for 2 minutes, just to wilt the basil a bit, if the basil is young and tender this step is not necessary. 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. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

BATTER-FRIED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Peel and de-vein the shrimp. Rinse under cold water and pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Beat the eggs with 3 tablespoons of water and the olive oil. Add the parsley, garlic saffron, baking soda and salt. Stir in the flour to make a smooth batter and allow to rest for 1 hour, unrefrigerated.
• In a deep pan heat olive oil to 350 degrees F. Dip shrimp into batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Fry until golden brown and slightly puffed.

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.
