How To Make beer batter shrimp fritters

• 
  Step 1
  Mix beer, flour, cayenne, salt & black pepper together. Set aside for four (4) hours. I'm guessing at the measurements for the rest of the seasoning, so use less or more according to your taste.
• Step 2
  Put the chopped shrimp in a container and sprinkle some Cajun seasoning on them - toss them well to get them all coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to add to batter.
• Step 3
  After four hours mix in the shrimp, green onions, parsley and garlic. *Tip: To test the batter for seasoning, mix up everything without the shrimp and just drop a little of the batter mixture into the hot oil. Taste and adjust if needed. If it's too spicy, add about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of both flour and beer to tame the heat, then take about 1/4 to 1/2 of the batter out and mix the shrimp into the remaining batter. Use reserved batter for something else like fish or onion rings.
• 
  Step 4
  Over medium heat add about 2 inches of oil in a heavy skillet. Heat until oil just starts to shimmer, or to 350* on a candy thermometer.
• 
  Step 5
  Drop by teaspoon size spoonfuls into the hot oil and cook until golden brown on both sides.
• 
  Step 6
  Remove from oil and drain on paper towel lined plate. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with warmed https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/jam/orange-pepper-jelly.html?p=68, or Remoulade sauce, and lemon wedges. C'est ci bon!
