My father and his Chinese 'brother's' recipe for the best deep fried shrimp, now famous in our town. If you have leftover bacon, don't worry; you can deep fry it and that's for you! For a sauce, ketchup and horseradish work great but these are great by them self! Ingredients:
1 quart vegetable oil for frying |
32 peeled and deveined medium shrimp, tail-on |
1 (4 ounce) can pickled jalapeno peppers, cut into slivers |
16 slices bacon, cut in half |
32 toothpicks |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Cut the shrimp along the back, nearly through to the front. Stuff each shrimp with a sliver of jalapeno, then wrap with half a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
3. Cook the shrimp in batches in the hot oil until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
