Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ⅔ cup beer

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. Beat flour, beer, egg, and salt together in a bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until batter is smooth. Spread coconut flakes in a shallow dish.

  2. Dip shrimp into beer batter; lift up so excess batter drips back in the bowl. Press into coconut flakes until completely coated. Place shrimp, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, 3 to 4 minutes. Lower about 1/3 shrimp carefully into the hot. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set over paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
