1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp granulated sugar
8 oz beer
1 flour, for dusting
3 cup peanut oil, to 4 cups, for frying
1 1/4 lb rock shrimp or peeled white shrimp
CHIPOTLE HONEY DIPPING SAUCE
2 chipotle chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 tomato, cored and cut in quarters
1/2 small onion, peeled and sliced
1 clove garlic, peeled water
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
Directions
Combine 1 cup of 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 dipping sauce.
Dipping Sauce - In a small saucepan, bring chiles, tomato, water,
onion, garlic and salt to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook,
slowly, covered for 15 minutes, then puree in a blender until smooth
transfer to a small bowl and add honey and vinegar. Serve at room
temperature as a dipping sauce with shrimps. Yield: 2 1/2 cups

The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions back into history, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like thyme, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
