The subtle sweetness of this crispy coconut shrimp pairs well with our sweet, award-winning Gewürztraminer.
Ingredients (6 servings):
1 egg
1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
2⁄3 cup beer
11⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups flaked coconut
24 medium prawns
3 cups oil for frying
Instructions:
In medium bowl, combine egg, 1⁄2 cup flour, beer and baking powder. Place 1⁄4 cup flour and coconut in two separate bowls. Hold shrimp by tail, and dredge in flour, shaking off excess. 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. Meanwhile, heat oil to 350˚ F in a deep-fryer. Fry shrimp in batches: cook, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Using tongs, remove shrimp to paper towels to drain. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and a chilled glass of Hive & Honey Gewürztraminer!
