1 tsp baking powder
1 cup beer
Tapatío Hot Sauce
frying oil
3-4 Tbsp. Santa Monica Seafood Tartar Sauce
½ tsp paprika

Directions:

  1. Pre-heat oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 375°F.
  2. In a medium size bowl, add flour, baking powder, paprika, salt, pepper, a couple drops of Tapatío Hot Sauce and beer. Gently mix.
  3. Dip clams in the batter and quickly fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
