Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Beat flour, beer, egg, and salt in a bowl with an electric mixer on low until batter is smooth. Spread coconut flakes in a shallow dish.
- Dip shrimp into beer batter, shaking off excess, then press into coconut. Place shrimp onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, 3 to 4 minutes. Fry about a third of the shrimp in the hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Allow shrimp to drain on a wire rack set over paper towels. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

I did NOT make changes to the recipe. I did, however, read MANY of the comments and all of them helped make this dish a success (better than Outback, folks!). The best tip that I got was cold,...

after a while the coconut would get clumpy and it was hard to keep it stuck to the shrimp.

I found this to be a great base for a beer batter. I used bud light lime and didn't have coconut on hand so I added grated orange rind to the batter and rolled the shrimp in plain bread crumbs....
