FRIED SHRIMP PITA POCKETS AND
CHIPS
 
Small/baby shrimp or diced
shrimp frying batter (easy to make)
Paprika, salt, ground black pepper, basil (to season batter)
seasoned salt (for chips)
Pita bread
diced tomatoes
1/4" - 3/8" potato wedges
chopped iceberg lettuce

In a large skillet add 1/2" oil on med-high heat. Dip shrimp in batter and fry until golden. Set aside and keep warm. Dip potatoes in batter and fry until well browned , but not burned. Drain on plate and sprinkle lightly with seasoned salt while hot. Cut pita rounds in half. Add a fair pinch of lettuce. Top with a few tomato dices, any sauces and shrimp and then reverse the process ending with shrimp on top. You can also put it all in a container and toss it.

Note: Allow excess batter with the shrimp.

When they cluster up in the pan, break the batter up into 1-1/2" chunks so they cook evenly. Save the remaining batter for chips and crunchy bites. Also, if Pita Bread starts to crack apart or feels stiff - steam them over boiling water or rub them with oil and microwave for 10-20 sec or until soft.
