Ingredients

• 1 lb Raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Beer (lager or pale ale)
• 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Orange marmalade
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the shrimp. Ensure they are peeled and deveined, leaving the tails on for ease of handling during frying. Pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually pour in the beer while whisking, until smooth and thickened. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, combine the sweetened shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Preheat vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain consistent temperature.

Step 5

Holding the shrimp by the tail, dip each one into the beer batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off, then press both sides of the shrimp into the coconut-panko mixture to coat.

Step 6

Gently place the coated shrimp into the hot oil, working in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.

Step 7

While the shrimp cool slightly, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, honey, and lime juice until smooth.

Step 8

Serve the crispy coconut shrimp on a platter with the orange marmalade dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
