Everything Seeded Shrimp Appetizer

This Shrimp Appetizer is a winner!

Shrimp Appetizer

 

Prepare the batter, seeded coating and aioli in advance.

When the time’s right, fry the shrimp, coat them in the seeds and dig in!

These beauties are delicious on their own, but the garlic-lemon aioli pushes them over the top.

I found this recipe in the Rachael Ray magazine.  I have to say, that woman provides fantastic suggestions for appetizers on a consistent basis!

Everything Seeded Shrimp Appetizer is the perfect way to start a casual dinner party and would go great with Grilled Marinated Flank Steak with Arugula and Stacked Roasted Potatoes.

Admission — Jeff and I actually enjoy Everything Seeded Shrimp and Garlic-Lemon Aioli as our main course!

 Enjoy!

  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 5 Tablespoons butter (melted)

Note

This Shrimp Appetizer is inspired by a recipe I found in Rachael Ray's magazine.

The combination of seasonings is delicious, and the cooked shrimp are gorgeous.  This is a perfect shrimp appetizer for a small dinner party.  The shrimp cook up really fast  -- you could put the final touches on this shrimp appetizer while your guests are getting settled (my preference!).  Or, cook even before your guests arrive -- this shrimp appetizer is delicious at room temperature too!

ENJOY!  -- The Recipe Wench
