Deep Fried Zucchini

Submitted by ChloeBaby

"I was looking for a plain old battered, deep fried zucchini, but most on here are seasoned, or breaded and baked. So here is plain old beer battered zucchini, care of momofukufor2.com She has this amazing sriracha-lime mayonnaise for dipping (I'll put it in as the last step); between that and good old dill dip, these things disappear fast. My serving sizes are off, I just threw numbers in."

Tried this last night Excellent you hit the batter right on. I used a Grand Pappy Fryer with peanut oil and served with Ranch Dressing! Had to thin out the batter a bit used about 2 ounces more beer for a double batch. Next time I will try adding a bit of smoked paprika to the batter. I will also try this batter on Mushrooms! Thank you for posting this recipe.
