Mmmmm...comfort food:) These can be an appetizer or main dish, depending on what you pair them with--but there never seems to be enough because even the most hard-core seafood haters (like me...) seem to love shrimp! Go figure! If you can, get your shrimp (or any seafood, for that matter) at a fish market--the freshness and non "fishy" taste are worth the price.

    Spread and flatten to form the butterfly shape.

  3. 3

    Make a batter by mixing together the flour, beer, egg, sugar, and salt.

  4. 4
