Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp tamarind concentrate
1 1/2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tbsp mild honey
2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1/4 tsp salt
4 cups sweetened flaked coconut (10 oz)
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup beer (not dark )
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cayenne
1 large egg
6 cups vegetable oil
48 medium shrimp (1 1/2 lb), peeled , leaving tail and first segment of shell intact, and, if desired, deveined

Directions:

Make sauce: Whisk tamarind concentrate into lime juice in a small bowl until dissolved. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients and chill, covered.
Prepare shrimp: Coarsely chop coconut and transfer half to a shallow soup bowl or pie plate.
Whisk together flour, beer, baking soda, salt, cayenne, and egg in a small bowl until smooth.
Heat oil in a 4- to 6-quart deep heavy pot over moderately high heat until it registers 350°F on thermometer.
While oil is heating, coat shrimp: Hold 1 shrimp by tail and dip into batter, letting excess drip off, then dredge in coconut, coating completely and pressing gently to help adhere. Transfer to a plate and coat remaining shrimp in same manner, adding remaining coconut to bowl as needed.
Fry shrimp in oil in batches of 8, turning once, until golden, about 1 minute. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season lightly with salt. Skim any coconut from oil and return oil to 350°F between batches.
Serve shrimp with sauce.
* Available at Latino and Indian restaurants and at Kalustyan's (212-685-3451).
