DRUNKEN COCONUT SHRIMP
Posted in : Recipes, Seafood on by : SpiceGuy
Ingredients:
1 lb. unpeeled med. fresh shrimp
3/4 c. pancake mix
3/4 c. beer
1 tbsp. coconut milk
1/4 c. all purpose flour
1 c. coconut flakes
Light vegetable oil
Peel and devein shrimp; rinse well. Combine pancake mix, beer and coconut milk and mix well. Dredge shrimp in flour, shake off excess. Dip into batter then dredge coated shrimp in coconut. Heat oil(2″ to 3″deep) in saucepan or deep fryer to 350 degrees. Fry 5 to 6 shrimp at a time approximately 35 to 45 seconds on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve.
For a great dipping sauce I like to heat about 1/3 cup of honey with the zest of an orange and let it simmer for a couple of minutes or heat up some marmelade with some horseradish sauce added to it.
