Introduction: Coconut Beer-battered Shrimp
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup beer
1 egg
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
2 dozen raw, tail-on shrimp
canola or other mild vegetable oil, for frying
Directions:
In medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of the flour, baking powder, beer and egg. Place 1/4 cup flour and coconut in two separate bowls.
Holding each shrimp by the tail, dredge in flour, them dip in 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 350F in a heavy pot or deep-fryer. Cook shrimp in batches, without crowding the pot or fryer; cook, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Using tongs, transfer shrimp to paper towels to drain. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
