   • Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2. Heat Oil:

   • Heat about 1 inch of oil in a Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C) or use a deep fryer like a Fry Daddy.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick, cornmeal, chopped green onion, parsley, baking powder, cayenne powder, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well to blend all ingredients evenly.

4. Prepare Batter:

   • Add the beer and beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined. The batter should have a thick consistency that coats the shrimp well.

5. Coat and Fry Shrimp:

   • Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even frying.

6. Drain and Serve:

   • Once fried, remove the shrimp using a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

7. Serve:

   • Serve the Hush Puppy Fried Shrimp hot and crispy! They pair wonderfully with salsa, cocktail sauce, or tartar sauce for dipping.

Tips:

• Beer Choice: Use a light beer for the batter to impart a subtle flavor without overpowering the shrimp.
• Frying Temperature: Maintain the oil temperature around 375°F (190°C) to ensure the shrimp cook quickly and evenly without absorbing too much oil.
• Crispiness: For extra crispy shrimp, you can double dip them in the batter before frying.
