For Shrimp:

1. Preheat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, garlic, black pepper, paprika and beer.Make sure that you do not see any flour. Batter should coat a spoon, and not clumpy. If the mixture is dry, whisk in additional beer, one ounce at a time.
3. Sit shrimp in batter, tips up, ensuring that batter sticks to every part. 
4. When oil is ready, add shrimp to skillet one at a time, laying them on their side. Do not overcrowd skillet. Cook in 2 batches.
5. If oil does not cover shrimp completely, flip them after frying for 2 minutes. 
6. When batter is golden and shrimp float, remove them from oil, using a large slotted spoon.
7. Drain shrimp on towel lined plate.
8. Serve with Cocktail Sauce and lemon wedges. See the link above for my Easy Cocktail Sauce.

ENJOY!
