I love shrimp. So, I find a lot of main dish recipes, appetizers, salads and anything else I can to use shrimp. Even though I hate peeling them but then you know they’re good and fresh.
Coconut Shrimp
1 egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup beer (I used an NA lager)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups flaked coconut
24 shrimp
3 cups oil for frying
1) In medium bowl, combine egg, 1/2 cup flour, beer and baking powder. Place 1/4 cup flour and coconut in two separate bowls.
2) 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 wax paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil to 350 degrees.
3) 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.
