Dip seasoned shrimp in a light egg batter and deep-fry until golden brown.

Steps

1. Beat eggs until fluffy; add milk, salad oil and lemon juice.
2. Mix flour, baking powder and salt and add to egg mixture; stir only enough to dampen flour. DO NOT BEAT.
3. Shell and clean shrimp; season.
4. Let stand 15 min. while you make the batter.
5. Dip shrimps one by one in batter then slide into deep fat (hot enough to brown a cube of bread in 40 sec).
6. Cook until brown, remove and drain on brown paper. Serve with tomato ketchup or cocktail sauce (tomato ketchup with added lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of pepper if desired). Shrimp in a batter added to sweet and sour sauce makes sweet and sour shrimp.
