Black-Eyed Pea Battered Shrimp

Recipe courtesy of Chef John Folse

Serves 6

Ingredients:
Shrimp are deep-fried every day in Louisiana, but the batters
used to coat and flavor them are as varied as the cooks
preparing the seafood. This recipe was created by
Dr. Robert Harrington, former dean of the John Folse
Culinary Institute at Nicholls State University.
36 (16-20 count) shrimp, head-on

3/4 cup black-eyed peas, cooked
1/4 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
Creole seasoning to taste
salt and black pepper to taste
granulated garlic to taste
2 large eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/4 cups beer
Louisiana hot sauce to taste
2 cups flour
1 quart vegetable oil

Method:
Peel shells from tail of shrimp, being careful not to remove
head. Devein shrimp then set aside.
In a food processor, combine black-eyed peas, onion,
minced garlic, ginger, Creole seasoning, salt, pepper and
granulated garlic. Blend on high speed 2-3 minutes or until
peas are coarsely chopped.
Add eggs, olive oil, beer and hot sauce. Blend 1-2 minutes or
until puréed. Add flour and blend 1-2 minutes. Pour black-eyed
pea batter into a ceramic bowl then set aside.
In a large cast iron pot or a home-style electric fryer such
as a Fry Daddy®, heat 3 inches of oil to 350°F according to
manufacturer's directions. Dip shrimp bodies (not heads) into
batter and allow all excess to drain. Gently place shrimp into
deep-fryer and cook until golden brown and partially floating.
Remove from oil and drain.

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
