Fried Breaded Shrimp 1/4 cup flour Salt and pepper 1 egg 2 tablespoons vodka 3/4 cup fine bread crumbs 40 large raw shrimp, shelled, but with tails intact Oil (for frying)
Mix flour with a little salt and pepper and place in a bowl. In a second bowl beat well the egg and vodka. In a third bowl place the bread crumbs mixed with salt and pepper. Toss the shrimp, one at a time, in the flour; dip into egg mixture; toss in the bread crumbs to coat. Drop into hot oil (360 degrees F) and deep fry quickly until golden brown. Do not overcook. Shrimp may be breaded several hours ahead and refrigerated until time to fry. Serve with a tartar and a cocktail sauce.
