* Note: See the ?Chipotle Honey Dipping Sauce? recipe which is
included in this collection.
Combine the flour with the cayenne, salt, sugar and baking powder in a
medium bowl. Add beer all at once and whisk until smooth. Set aside at
least 1/2 hour. Heat oil to deep-fry temperature (350 degrees) in a
large saucepan. Test oil by sprinkling a few drops of batter and if
they rise to the surface, the oil is ready. Toss the shrimps in the
flour for dusting and toss to coat evenly, then pat off excess. Drop
a few at a time first in the batter then into the hot oil and fry
until lightly golden and crispy -- about 2 minutes. Remove with a
slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with the
Chipotle Honey Dipping Sauce. This recipe yields 6 servings.
