Coconut Shrimp, Lobster, Sauce and Dipping Recipes
Coconut Shrimp Recipe: The Internet has many cooking and restaurant sites as well as forums for the merely curious or for those fond of eating, where they can exchange exotic recipes, like the coconut shrimp recipe, and teach each other how to make various dishes.
One of the coconut shrimp recipes calls for: a cup of flat beer, 1 cup of self-rising flour, 2 cups of sweetened coconut of which half a cup should be kept aside, ½ teaspoon salt, around 12 jumbo shrimps, paprika, and oil for frying.
To prepare this fried recipe, combine the first 5 ingredients and add the reserved ½ cup of coconut. Cover and refrigerate for one hour. Clean and de-vein the shrimp, leaving the tail on. Preheat oil in a deep fryer to as much as 350°F. Pour the rest of the coconut into a shallow dish. Sprinkle the shrimp with paprika, dip it in the prepared and chilled beer batter, coating it generously, then roll it in the coconut and fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally to cook it evenly, and until it is golden brown. This recipe is similar to the Outback recipe used by the Outback Steakhouse.
