Fried Shrimp Fritters
Crisp French-style shrimp fritters made from chopped shrimp folded into a light beer-thinned batter with scallion, parsley, and garlic, deep-fried until golden and puffed. Served hot with a lemon wedge and a mustard-spiked mayonnaise for dipping. A bistro appetizer built around a crunchy shell and a tender, briny shrimp interior.
