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.
