I have the Drucilla (sp) restaurant cookbook. Their recipe is to flour your shrimp, then dip in water, and flour again. They come out great everytime. This recipe is fantastic if you're making shrimp poboys. This is the only way that I fry my shrimp now.

I've heard of some people melting Blue Bell Old Fashion Vanilla and using that as a batter.

The best I've ever tasted:

Antoine's Cocktail Sauce

Cocktail Sauce
4 Tbsp horseradish
1/2 cup Vinaigrette Sauce (recipe follows)
3 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 cups ketchup
1 Tbs Tabasco sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice

Blend all ingredients together and chill. Makes 3 cups.

Vinaigrette Sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup vinegar
1/4 tsp finely ground white pepper
1 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp dry powdered mustard

Put all ingredients into a bottle and shake to mix. Store at room temperature. Makes 1 1/2 cups.

Louisiana Shrimp Fry is a great product


I'll second this. And, as of late, when frying trout and sheepshead fillets, I've used the LA Products Shrimp Fry half and half with Fish Fry.

Just add generous amounts of red pepper with some sprinkle of garlic powder. EXCELLENT.
