One of the best beer battered coconut shrimp recipes I've ever tried. Especially using the apricot dipping sauce.
For the coconut shrimp:
1. First wash and clean the shrimp (remove the shell and devain) then butterfly taking a small knife and slicing lengthwise from where the tail starts to the tip so that the shrimp opens like a book.
2. Next in medium bowl, combine egg, 1/2 cup flour, beer and baking powder. In 2 separate bowls place 1/4 cup flour and coconut.
3. Hold shrimp by tail, and dredge in flour, shaking off excess flour. Dip in egg/beer batter; allow excess to drip off. Roll shrimp in coconut, and place on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a deep-fryer or deep skillet (when I use a deep skillet on the stove top I usually turn the burner to the 5 or 6 setting and let the oil warm up for 10 minutes or so)
4. Fry shrimp in batches: cook, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Using tongs, remove shrimp to paper towels to drain. Serve warm with apricot dipping sauce.
For the sauce:
Combine the apricot jam, horseradish, salt, lime juice, pineapple juice, and orange juice in a bowl and mix until all ingredients are blended and serve with shrimp. Enjoy!
