Coconut Shrimp 1 Recipe were easy to make and better than the ones at a very exclusive restaurant my husband and I frequent. They were also a hit with my kids. Excellent recipe
Ingredients:
1 egg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup beer
2 cups flaked coconut
3 cups oil for frying
24 shrimp
Method:
In medium bowl, combine egg, 1/2 cup flour, beer 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 wax paper.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) 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.
Notes and Tips:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
