"Beer Batter"

Here's an easy one.

Ingredients
1 case of light Beer (use one 12oz can for the batter)
1 1/2 cups Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Paprika
1 cup plain Flour (keep dry)

Directions

Pour the beer into a large bowl. Sift the flour, salt, and paprika into the beer, whisking until the batter is light and frothy. (The batter may be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, but be sure to whisk it occasionally). Heat at least 2 inches of oil in a frying kettle or electric fryer. Just before it reaches 375F, quickly dredge the fish or shrimp with flour, shaking of excess then dip in the beer batter, coating well, and drop them into the hot fat (do this in 2 batches). When they are brown on one side - less than 1 minute - turn and brown them on the other side. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
