Tahoe Joe 39s Railroad Camp Shrimp Recipe Full [better] -

While there is no official "from-the-chef" recipe published by Tahoe Joe's , the dish is described as hand-battered tempura-style shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy garlic-soy sauce

For the Shrimp & Batter (The "Camp" Crunch)

• 1.5 lbs large prawns (16/20 count) – Peeled and deveined, tails left ON.
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch (Crucial for that light, craggy texture)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp white pepper (Black pepper works, but white is traditional for tempura)
• 1 cup ice-cold sparkling water (Club soda or seltzer. The colder, the better)
• 1 large egg yolk
• Peanut oil or Canola oil (For frying – you need enough to fill a heavy-bottomed pot 2 inches deep)

Make-ahead & Storage

• Shrimp: best fresh; cooked shrimp keep 2–3 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
• Sauce: can be made and refrigerated 2–3 days; reheat and toss with shrimp just before serving.
• Reheat gently over low heat or in a 300°F oven to avoid rubbery shrimp.

Serving Suggestions

• Over steamed rice, garlic mashed potatoes, or angel hair pasta.
• With crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
• As an appetizer on skewers or served family-style with lemon wedges.

The Philosophy: This is not delicate. It’s buttery, garlicky, slightly spicy, and meant to be sopped up with sourdough or camp bread. Joe used a cast-iron skillet, and so should you. tahoe joe 39s railroad camp shrimp recipe full

Warning: This recipe yields a "full" portion. At the restaurant, this is meant for two as an appetizer or one hungry person as a main course. At home, it will feed a family of four (or two very happy people with leftovers). While there is no official "from-the-chef" recipe published
