Beer Batter Coconut Shrimp

Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour (1 cup)
  • beer (0.67 cup)
  • large egg (1 )
  • salt (0.5 teaspoon)
  • sweetened flaked coconut (2 cups)
  • uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (1 pound)
  • vegetable oil for frying (1 cup)

Instructions

  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.
  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.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, 3 to 4 minutes. Lower about 1/3 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.
