Alright, I’m going to show you how to make an authentic Mexican batter that you can use to take your shrimp taco recipes and make them even better. This batter is used for the authentic Mexican recipe for Baja shrimp taco recipes, but I’ve found the batter to be so good that you can use it on pretty much any type of taco that involves shrimp with a very positive result: it’s delicious! Here we go:

Ingredients:
- light beer – 100ml
- egg – just 1
- some pepper
- wheat flour – 1 cup
- a little salt
Instructions:
Using a bowl (cereal bowl is fine), add all of the ingredients. Mix it all for a couple of minutes, evening out any chunks of flour and ensuring the batter ends up not too thick and not too thin: it’s best if it’s somewhere in the middle, so if it turns out a little to think, then add some more flour to it and mix; or if too thick, then add a little more beer and mix. Try to get it right the first time though because if you start adding a little beer and then you take it too far and then you have correct by adding some more wheat flour, and you do it too much, you’re going to throw the proportions of the ingredients out of whack–you’d have to add more egg to maintain the same ingredient ratio and, thus, the same taste, and this is not a recipe you want to mess with because it is incredible as-is!
You use this batter by coating each of the shrimp you’ll be using for your taco recipes in the batter and then deep frying them. The batter will caramelize as the shrimp cook and you’ll be left with shrimp for your tacos that taste incredible.
Again, as mentioned before, this particular batter is normally used when making Baja shrimp taco recipes but you can use it on your shrimp for any shrimp tacos, really. I think you’ll love this recipe–it’s super tasty!–and if you try it and you do like it, you may also like to try cooking some other authentic Mexican recipes another time! Provecho!
