How to cook deliciously - Beer-Battered Proscuitto-Wrapped Asparagus Appetizer

1 . Stage

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus; parboil for about 30 seconds for thin spears and up to 3 minutes for thick spears. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool and stop the cooking. Drain again and pat dry.

2 . Stage

Heat about 2 inches oil in a deep-sided pot over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

3 . Stage

Lay 2 to 3 slices of prosciutto next to each other, slightly overlapping. Place an asparagus spear on top and roll up in the prosciutto. Repeat until all spears are rolled.

4 . Stage

Mix beer, flour, egg, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Dip wrapped spears in the batter and place several at a time in the hot oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the other side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to catch the excess oil. Continue frying the remaining spears.
