COCONUT SHRIMP

/ On : 1:36 AM
1 cup flat beer
1 cup self-rising flour
2 cups sweetened coconut flakes (7 ounces)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 jumbo shrimp
oil for frying
paprika

For the batter, use an electric mixer to combine the beer, flour, 1/2 cup coconut flakes, sugar and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well, then cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.  Prepare your marmalade sauce by combining all ingredients in a small bowl.  Cover and refrigerate this for at least 1 hour as well. Prepare the shrimp by de-veining and peeling off the shell back to the tail. Leave the last segment of the shell plus the tailfins as a handle. When the batter is ready, preheat oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to about 350 degrees.  Use enough oil to completely cover the shrimp. Pour the remainder of the coconut into a shallow bowl.   Be sure the shrimp are dry before battering. Sprinkle ach shrimp lightly with paprika before the next step.  Dip one shrimp at a time into the batter, coating generously. Drop the batter shrimp into the coconut and roll it around so that it is well coated.   Fry four shrimp at a time for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp become golden brown. You may have to flip the shrimp over halfway through cooking time. Drain on paper towels briefly before serving with marmalade sauce on the side.
Serving Size : 2
