I'm excited to share this recipe for Coconut Shrimp, a crispy and flavorful dish that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of coconut and shrimp creates a unique and delicious flavor that will tantalize your taste buds. Not only is this dish easy to make, but it's also a great way to impress your guests.
To make Coconut Shrimp, you'll need a few simple ingredients, including shrimp, coconut, flour, eggs, beer, and baking powder. The first step is to create a batter by combining the eggs, flour, beer, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Then, you'll need to dredge the shrimp in flour, dip it in the batter, and roll it in coconut. Once the shrimp is coated, place it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes. While the shrimp is chilling, heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Once the oil is hot, fry the shrimp in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Step-by-step
- 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.
