Coconut Fried Shrimp with Dipping Sauce
Recipe courtesy Bobby Deen

Ingredients
Dipping Sauce:
1/2 cup orange marmalade
4 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Peanut oil, for frying
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup water
2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
1/2 cup bread crumbs

1 pound medium or large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Dipping Sauce:

Directions
Add all dipping sauce ingredients to a pot on a low
temperature. Heat for 10 minutes, making sure you stir ingredients every few
minutes.
In a large, heavy pot, heat 2-inches of the peanut oil to 325 degrees F.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add
the water and whisk until smooth. Let the batter stand for 15 minutes.

In a wide, shallow bowl, toss the coconut and bread crumbs together.

Put the shrimp into the batter. Remove the shrimp, 1 at a time, and dredge in the
coconut mixture, pressing to help the coconut adhere. Fry the shrimp in batches in
the hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes or until brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the
shrimp to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Serve the shrimp with the
dipping sauce.
