How to make Coconut Shrimp

Using a fish filet knife, butterfly the shrimp. Click for filet knife.

Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper to taste.

Add about 1/2 an inch of oil to an electric skillet and preheat to 375 F (190 C). Click for a 16 inch electric skillet.

In a small bowl mix together the Panko and shredded coconut.

In another bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt, egg, and beer. Mix together until well combined.

Dip the shrimp in the beer batter mixture.

Then coat the shrimp with the Panko and coconut mixture.

Repeat with the remaining shrimp.

Deep fry the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Flip over halfway through, then drain on paper towels.

Serve and enjoy!
