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.
Butterfly the cleaned shrimp so that they will look larger: hold them so that the underside is up; slice down its length, almost to the vein, to form the hinge.
Spread and flatten to form the butterfly shape.
Make a batter by mixing together the flour, beer, egg, sugar, and salt.
Use a deep fryer and heat a few inches of peanut oil to 375*F.
Dip the shrimp into the batter and fry until golden brown; drain on paper towels.
Serve hot.
