Beer Battered Coconut Shrimp

The ingredients below will make a dish that is reminiscent of Outback's coconut shrimp.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup beer
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups flaked coconut
• 24 shrimp
• 1 1/2 cups oil for frying

Ingredients for Dipping Sauce:

• 3 tablespoons of orange marmalade
• 1 tablespoon of mustard
• 1 tablespoon of horseradish
• 2 tablespoons  of water
• 1 tablespoon oil

 Directions

1. In medium bowl, combine egg, 1/2 cup flour, beer and baking powder. Place 1/4 cup flour and coconut in two separate bowls.
2. Hold shrimp by tail, and drag 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 paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Fry shrimp until golden brown. Remove shrimp to paper towels to drain. 

I used coconut flakes that I grated myself to make this dish.

Directions for Dipping Sauce:

• Add 2 tablespoons of water and 1 tablespoon of oil to a small saucepan. Bring mixture to boil. Then stir in the orange marmalade, mustard and horseradish. Serve.
