Appetisers for 8
Deep Fried Shrimp
Guacamole with Tortilla
Cheese Plate
So this was not your regular Friday night dinner. Two weekends ago was my birthday and I actually spent the whole weekend in bed due to an allergic reaction to antibiotics. At the time I had no idea what was wrong with me. So as a birthday 'do-over' I invited a group of my favourite women to share some drinks and nibbles on my porch. They even surprised me with gifts. XOXO Thanks! We have had a crazy mild spring this year and we could actually sit out on the porch quite comfortably until the wee hours of the morning. I prepared a bit of food. Unfortunately my camera was on vacation with my son so I only have one picture taken by my daughter of the deep fried shrimp.
These are green tiger shrimp in a rich batter. Mix two egg yolks and 100g of flour then add a little water to make a smooth but rather thick batter. Dip in the shrimps then dip them in broken up thread bean noodles. Deep fry until golden. Serve with sweet chilli sauce.
The guacamole and tortilla were from the same recipe as last week Friday March 9, 2012 .
The cheese plate was a selection from my favourite local shop Ouderkirk & Taylor along with some figs and my own beetroot chutney.
The ladies supplied some excellent brownies as well.
