Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup water
1 egg white
1 lb medium shrimp, cleaned and deveined, pat dry
2 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup vegetable oil (for frying )

Directions:

Mix batter ingredients (first 5 ingredients) until well blended; some lumps in your batter are okay.
Dip shrimp, one at a time in the batter, roll in coconut to coat, and place on wax paper.
Heat 1/4-inch of oil in skillet. (To test is oil is hot enough for frying, take a chunk of bread and place it in the oil; if it crisps easily, it's ready).
Fry shrimp 7-8 at a time for 1 minute on each side until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
TIP: further chop the coconut so it is fine. This prevents clumping.
