"These crispy shrimp are rolled in a coconut beer batter before frying. For dipping sauce, I use orange marmalade, mustard and horseradish mixed to taste."

Directions
In medium bowl, combine egg, 1/2 cup flour, baking soda and beer. Place 1/4 cup flour and coconut in two separate bowls. Hold shrimp by tail, and dredge in flour, shake off excess flour. Immerse yourself in Egg drain / beer batter, allow excess. Roll shrimp in coconut lined, and on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Refrigerator for 30 minutes. In the meantime, 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. Remove shrimp with tongs to drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce. footnotes
