My Pop makes this and boy is it good! A great appetizer or a meal in itself!! Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Ingredients:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup cornstarch |
1/2 teaspoon 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:
1. Mix batter ingredients (first 5 ingredients) until well blended; some lumps in your batter are okay.
2. Dip shrimp, one at a time in the batter, roll in coconut to coat, and place on wax paper.
3. 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).
4. Fry shrimp 7-8 at a time for 1 minute on each side until golden brown.
5. Drain on paper towels.
6. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
7. TIP: further chop the coconut so it is fine. This prevents clumping.
