Beer Batter Fried Mushrooms

Wow, these beer-battered fried mushrooms are dangerous. I require some serious restraint around them. And truth be told, restraint isn’t something I’m known for.

Ingredients

vegetable oil for frying
2 cups beer
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley
2 pounds mushrooms I used a mix of button and baby bellas, dirt brushed off (if you decide to rinse them clean, make sure you dry them thoroughly)
dipping sauce I used Louisiana Fish Fry's Remoulade Sauce

Instructions

Bring enough oil to cover the mushrooms (about 3") to 375 F in a Dutch oven or deep fryer.
In a large bowl, whisk together the beer, flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper and parsley flakes until a smooth batter forms.
Add in the mushrooms and toss to coat.
Working in batches, deep fry the mushrooms until golden brown.
Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Serve with dipping sauce.
