Shrimps in batter - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of flour for the batter?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour for a low-carb option or gluten-free flour for dietary restrictions. Note that texture may vary slightly.

How can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Replace regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure breadcrumbs are gluten-free. Cornmeal or crushed gluten-free crackers also work well for breading.

Can I bake the shrimp instead of frying for a healthier version?

Absolutely! Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake breaded shrimp on a greased baking sheet for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

How should I store leftover breaded shrimp?

Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.

What dipping sauces pair well with battered shrimp?

Classic pairings include cocktail sauce, garlic aioli, sweet chili sauce, or a zesty lemon tartar sauce for extra flavor.

Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?

Yes, just thaw completely in the fridge first and pat dry to remove excess moisture, which helps the batter stick better.

How do I adjust portion sizes for a larger group?

Simply multiply the ingredients proportionally. For crowd servings, fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.

Is there a vegan alternative for this recipe?

Use large oyster mushrooms or tofu instead of shrimp, replace eggs with aquafaba or plant-based milk for binding, and use vegan breadcrumbs.

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily
