Beer Battered Lobster Medallions Recipes

BEER BATTERED LOBSTER MEDALLIONS

Steps:

• Prepare Beer Batter--"the longer it sits, the better it gits".
• Mix dry ingredients, set aside.
• Mix liquids (incl. egg) add to dry and mix just until no longer lumpy.
• While the batter sits covered on the kitchen counter (no refrig. necessary) shell the tails by cutting from the thick end over the hump of the top of the shell with a heavy duty kitchen scissors.
• This is easiest if tails are partially frozen.
• Slice tails into 1/2 inch thick medallions, drain on paper towels.
• When 2 inches of frying oil is good and hot for deep frying, drop battered medallions, a single layer deep into hot oil, cooking in batches so as to prevent sticking together.
• Drain on a paper grocery bag covered with paper towel.
• Small batches can be kept warm in a medium high oven
• Serve hot with drawn butter with rice or potato dish and a nice herb salad.
• A semi sweet white wine goes nicely.
• Any leftover batter can be used to fry up some cut veggies such as cauliflower, okra, onions, mushrooms or dill pickle slices, but MUST be used immediately or be tossed out.
• If you do the veggies, wash 'em and coat 'em in a little flour or cornstarch to help the batter stick, if you like. (not imperative, but it'll help)

LOBSTER MEDALLIONS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add lobster, lower the heat and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes with the vinegar, laurel and pepper.
• Remove the loin of the lobster and cut it into medallions. Then prepare the lettuce bouquet and the papaya and kiwi pearls. To finalize add the sauce composed by ketchup, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and brandy.

BEER BATTERED FISH

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• Rinse fish, pat dry, and season with salt and pepper.
• Combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper. Stir egg into dry ingredients.
• Gradually mix in one beer until a thin batter is formed.
• You should be able to see the fish through the batter after it has been dipped.
• Dip fish fillets into the batter, then drop one at a time into hot oil.
• Fry fish, turning once, until both sides are golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels, and serve warm.

POOR MAN'S BEER BATTER FISH

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Pour beer into the pancake mix container in place of the water it calls for. Make the batter as thick or thin as you prefer. Close the lid, give it a few shakes, and boom it's done.
• Dip fish into the batter using a pair of tongs, or if you want to dirty a dish, pour the batter in a bowl first. If you cut your fish into smaller pieces, you can toss them into the container, close the lid and shake it a couple of times, then carefully remove the coated pieces.
• Remove the fish from the batter using tongs, and place into the hot oil. Fry the fish until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

• In an electric deep fryer or a heavy saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

BEER-BATTERED SEAFOOD

Steps:

• Heat oil (1 1/2 inches) in heavy saucepan or deep fryer to 350°F. Lightly coat fish with 3 to 4 tablespoons Bisquick mix.
• Mix remaining ingredients with hand beater until smooth. (If batter is too thick, stir in additional beer, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.) Dip fish into batter, letting excess drip into bowl.
• Fry fish about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown; drain. Serve hot and, if desired, with tartar sauce.

BEST BEER BATTER

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until smooth, then whisk in beer. Add 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and whisk until combined. Place 1 cup flour in a shallow bowl. Place a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet; set near stove.
• In a wide 6-quart pot fitted with a deep-fat or candy thermometer, heat oil to 375 degrees over medium. (The oil should bubble rapidly when a pinch of flour is added.) Working in small batches, lightly coat food in flour, then dip in batter, gently shaking off excess. Fry, turning halfway through, until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch (adjust heat to maintain 375 degrees). With a slotted spoon, transfer food to rack to drain and discard any browned bits of batter. Season immediately with salt. Keep warm in a 200-degree oven.
