Cooking Tips

• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the shrimp to ensure a crispy coating.
• Do not overcrowd the fryer or pot when frying the shrimp, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy shrimp.
• Serve the shrimp immediately after frying for the best texture and flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Cheddar and beer battered shrimp are best served hot and fresh.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the shrimp on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
