Seafood Batter for Frying

Seafood Batter Recipe using Ritz Crackers–this is really good!

This is from Food.com

27 Ritz Crackers-crushed (about 1 1/2 cups)

1/2 cup of Flour

1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

1 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt

1/2/ cup of buttermilk  (can also put one tablespoon of white vinegar in 1/2 cup of milk for 7 minutes)

2-3 drops of hot sauce (Tabasco or the milder Crystal)

1 large egg slightly beaten

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

  1. Peel the shrimp, de-vein as an example.  For fish–get the filet ready.
  2. Pour about 3 inches of oil into a large deep heavy duty skillet or cast-iron skillet and prepare to heat oil to 375 degrees.  While it is heating up,
  3. In a bowl, mix together the crushed  Ritz crackers, flour, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and seasoning salt-set aside
  4. In another bowl mix/whisk together the buttermilk, egg, hot sauce and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined
  5. Dip the shrimp or fish into the buttermilk mixture, then dredge into the cracker mixture.
  6. Place the shrimp or  fish into the hot oil at 375 degrees
  7. Fry in batches for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown for shrimp, longer for fish.
  8. Serve

And if you want some very nice cocktail sauce

Place about a cup of ketchup in a bowl,

Place about two tablespoons of prepared horseradish in the bowl–not the creamy stuff, you want the course horseradish!

Add about a tablespoon of Crystal hot sauce and stir.

It will be mild and a good place to start.  Add additional horseradish and/or hot sauce until it get to the point you love it!  Try it on a cracker to test.
