Servings: persons

1 cup chili sauce
1 chipotle pepper in adobo, plus 2 tsp. adobo sauce
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 1/2 pounds unpeeled raw medium-size shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails left on
3 to 4 cups peanut oil
1 cup (about 4 1/4 oz.) all-purpose flour
1 cup club soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
1 lemon, cut into wedges

1
Process chili sauce, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, horseradish, and paprika in a mini food processor until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
2
Place shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Top with additional paper towels, and press gently to absorb any remaining moisture on shrimp. Set aside.
3
Pour oil to a depth of 1 1/2 inches in a large, heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, and heat over medium-high to 350u00b0F.
4
While oil is heating, whisk together flour, club soda, salt, pepper, and lemon zest in a medium bowl until smooth. Dip shrimp into batter, leaving the tails uncoated and letting excess drip back into bowl.
5
Fry shrimp, in batches, in hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with cocktail sauce and lemon wedges.
