Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
• 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.66666668653488 cup beer

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Beat flour, beer, egg, and salt together in a bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until batter is smooth. Spread coconut flakes in a shallow dish.

Step 2

Dip shrimp into beer batter; lift up so excess batter drips back in the bowl. Press into coconut flakes until completely coated. Place shrimp, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, 3 to 4 minutes. Lower about ⅓ shrimp carefully into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set over paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
