How To Make crab-stuffed shrimp in a beer-batter coating

  • Step 1
    Peel, devein and butterfly shrimp. Using two sheets of waxed paper, lightly pound the shrimp with a mallet to flatten slightly, but do not tear shrimp. Season with salt and pepper, cover and refrigerate.
  • Step 2
    In a bowl, combine crabmeat, bread crumbs, cayenne, garlic, parsley and romano cheese - mix well.
  • Step 3
    In a small bowl, beat egg whites and water - set aside. Add panko and four to a shallow dish for coating the shrimp.
  • Step 4
    Stuff shrimp with 1-2 tbsp. of crab meat mixture - bring edges of shrimp over mixture to completely cover.
  • Step 5
    Dredge shrimp in egg white mixture to seal the shrimp and dredge in pank/flour mixture. Set aside on a platter until all shrimp are stuffed. Place platter into freezer until shrimp are firm enough to handle.
  • Step 6
    Mix all beer batter ingredients together in a bowl. Heat enough oil to deep fry shrimp. Dip partially frozen shrimp into beer batter and fry until golden brown, seam side down. Remove to paper towels for draining.
  • Step 7
    Serve with cocktail sauce or tartar sauce.
