"These crispy shrimp are rolled in coconut beer batter before frying. For dipping sauce, I use orange marmalade, mustard and horseradish mixed to taste."

ingredients

1 egg
¹⁄₂ cup all-purpose flour
²⁄₃ cup beer
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons baking powder
¹⁄₄ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups flaked coconut
24 shrimp
3 cups oil, for frying

directions

In a medium bowl, combine egg, 1/2 cup flour, beef and baking powder. Place 1/4 cup flour and coconut in two separate bowls.
Hold shrimp by tail and dredge in flour, shaking off excess flour. Dip in egg/beer batter; allow excess to drip off. Roll shrimp in coconut and place on a baking sheet lined with parchament paper. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil to 350°F in a deep-fryer.
Fry shrimp in batches: Cook, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Using tongs, remove shrimp to paper towels to drain. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
