COCONUT BEER SHRIMP
Shrimp in coconut beer batter with dipping sauce
(adapted from Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen)
A nice appetizer, though very caloric.

(Serves 12 as appetizer)
Seasoning
mix
- 1 Tbsp ground red pepper
- 1 tsp salt
(optional)
- 1 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp onion powder
- 3/4 tsp thyme
- 3/4 tsp oregano
Dipping
sauce
- 1 lb orange marmalade or apricot jam
(use an entire jar).
- 5 Tbsp brown mustard
- 5 Tbsp horseradish
Shrimp
and
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 3/4 cups beer
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 4 dozen medium shrimp,
peeled with tails
- 3 cups grated coconut
(unsweetened)
Procedure
-
Combine the seasoning mix together in a bowl.
-
Stir the dipping sauce ingredients together in a second bowl. Have this ready
at the table when the shrimp are done.
-
Mix together
2 tsp
of the seasoning mix,
1 1/4 cups
of flour, the beer and the baking powder, and place this in a third bowl.
-
Combine the remaining flour with another
2 tsp
of the seasoning mix.
-
Coat each shrimp with the remaining seasoning mix, then in the flour mixture,
then in the batter, then in the coconut. Deep-fry the shrimp for about 1
minute and drain on paper towels.
Notes
Don't put too much batter on or it will overwhelm the poor shrimp.
The dipping sauce is great for other things as well.
