Steps

15 min

1

Use shrimp that are peeled and deveined. Rinse and pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then lightly coat with flour.
2

In a bowl, mix the flour, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and baking powder. Add the egg and gradually pour in the beer, mixing until you get a slightly thick batter.
3

Heat the 1 1/2 cups of oil over medium heat in a wide pot. Drop a little batter into the oil to test if it's ready—the batter should float almost immediately.
4

Using tongs, dip each shrimp into the batter, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Turn the shrimp when golden brown, then remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
5

Serve and enjoy with warm tortillas, shredded cabbage, chipotle mayo, and lime wedges!
