Coconut Shrimp

This recipe takes some effort, but it is so worth it! The shrimp taste fabulous dipped in our Jim’s Own Hot or our garlic butter dipping sauce.

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 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.
