"This is one of the best fry batters I have ever used, I think it's the beaten egg whites that has everything come out light and fluffy. Great on shrimp, chicken fish, veggies about anything you want to see coming out of the pan light, crispy and golden brown. Batter needs to be prepared an hour before using - so worth the wait!"

This batter is perfect for shrimp or any other seafood or fish for that matter! Not a better recipe around in my book! Next time trying it with catfish.

This batter is perferct for shrimp! The shrimp were tender and the batter was second to none! I really liked making this. It felt like a lab experiment to see if the shrimp would puff up, and they did! Best thing is how good they tasted, and in one word, deeeeeee-licious!

Just like the batter they use for chicken fingers in Chinese restaurants, and we loved using it to coat and deep fry some jumbo shrimp. Deliciousness in every single one!

Used this batter from a post from Lindasbusykitchen's suggestion for Chinese Chicken Fingers and Shrimp. This batter puffs up to make a soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside coating that is excellent! I will use this batter for fried lobster and crab too!
