Rebozados
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron, or more if you have it
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 3/4 cup flour
- Oil for deep-frying (see headnote)
- 1 pound small shrimp, peeled
- Lime or lemon wedges for serving
- Beat the eggs with 1/4 cup water and the extra virgin olive oil.
- Stir in the parsley, saffron, baking soda, salt, cayenne, and flour until you have a smooth batter.
- Let the mixture rest while you put about 3 inches of oil in a deep saucepan and heat it over medium-high to 350F (a drop of the batter will sizzle energetically but not violently).
- Fold the shrimp into the batter, then transfer them to the oil one at a time with tongs or a spoon, working in batches.
- Cook until golden brown and puffed, about 4 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with lime wedges.
- Substitute 1 pound vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower, or chard, cut into bite-sized pieces, for the shrimp.
