    Deep fried shrimp, what a treat are these little bites!

    And look at that gorgeous golden crust around them: pure crunchy joy!

    So what is the secret behind it then: a good airy batter and crumbled and blended nachos…

    Nacho Crumble

    It might look hard to make but it is really as simple as that!

    I usually make these breaded and fried shrimp as an appetizer bite when I have some guests coming over. But I have prepared them for lunch as well a couple of times.

    Serve them with a nice and crisp green salad on the side.

    And whatever way you serve them: do add a good dipping sauce to it!

    I love a good old spicy ketchup dipping sauce for these prawns.

    Dipping Sauce

    Just combine a couple of tablespoons of ketchup, a few drops of lemon or lime juice and some sriracha or tabasco hot sauce to taste.

    An excellent match for these crunchy fried shrimp!

    Making the batter is a no brainer now that I can whip one up in a blink of an eye in my gorgeous KitchenAid stand mixer! It goes without saying that you can also prepare the batter in a mixing bowl of course.

    Guacamole

    Do you have a couple of leftover nachos after making that crumble crust?

    Then you can also prepare a classic avocado guacamole as a dipping sauce to go with it!

    Or are you more into a lighter and spicier dip?

    Then also try out my homemade spicy tomato salsa with slow roasted tomatoes and onion!

    Enjoy!
