Our light and satisfying batter-dipped Baked Pub-Style Shrimp is perfect to satisfy your cravings for fried foods without tipping the scale. We can stick to our diets and still enjoy full flavor.
What You'll Need
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, with tails left on, deveined and rinsed (see Note)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (see Note)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3/4 cup light beer
What to Do
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
-
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Pour beer into flour mixture and whisk until combined.
-
Holding the shrimp by the tail, dip them into the batter, completely coating each shrimp. Place shrimp about 4 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. (Use additional baking sheets, if needed.) Batter will puddle around each shrimp.
- Bake 12 to 14 minutes, or until coating is golden and bread-like.
Notes
- Our Avocado, Bean and Corn Salsa is another healthy and delicious crowd-pleaser!
- The seafood department at your supermarket will usually have cleaned and peeled shrimp available, or they'll do it for you. It sure is easier than doing it yourself!

question....on TV he said to use Self rising flour and the recipe on line say's all purpose so which is it????

I've used both and never added the baking powder or salt. If you want to use it, use only with the all purpose since the self rising already has those in it. Hope this helps.

This definetly is a different slant on shrimp.....healthier and you can really taste the shrimp over just the batter....but not one of my favorites. I prefer the coconut fried version to this baked ....or just plain broiled without batter is better!!
