"breaded shrimp" news and stories

Breaded shrimp, a classic bit of finger food, can be found on menus all over America ... but also Down Under, it seems. In this Aussie video, a perky chef makes a departure from the boring breaded prawns (large shrimps) so frequently found when dining out: pre-made, formerly frozen lumps of blandness, usually paired with an equally bland sauce.

This being a recession, making your own breaded shrimp at home is an easy, satisfying way to save some money. With great tips for breading (adding cream and freshly smashed garlic to the egg mixture) and a rather unique sauce you might not have tried before -- a combo of mayo, brown sugar, onion, capers, tomato paste, tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, Tabasco sauce and lemon juice -- we're thinking this one looks pretty tasty.

But what about you Slashfoodies? Got a great breading secret for your shrimp dishes? Spill in the comments!
