ISO: ISO CathyZ or anyone who might know. I am making the Coconut Shrimp

[orchid]

CathyZ posted and I would like to know if the batter portion can be made ahead. I mean hours ahead not just the 30 minutes it stands in the fridge. Would the batter be compromised at a longer wait time in the fridge? I hate doing things at the last minute and always look for ways to do ahead. Anyone? I've posted the link to Cathy's recipe. It sounds soooo good!http://eat.at/swap/forum1/132664_I_too_find_it_in_health_food_stores_Here_is_a_great_T&T_Coconut_Shrimp_Re

Don't make it ahead orchid- the batter will not hold up.

 

[orchid]

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks for the quick response. Oh wait, can the

egg whites be beaten and held?

 

[CathyZ]

Sure- for a while. I would say not more than an hour or they will probably weep

 

[orchid]

Thanks. I've got everything ready to go. I'll just add the yolk and beer and

whisk the white. I'm halving the recipe for just the two of us. I can tell they're gonna be spicy good!

 

[CathyZ]

Hah! I make the whole recipe for two of us and we fight over the last shrimp. Have a good dinner.
