Ingredients

Breading:

  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups (Japanese breadcrumbs), slightly crushed

Sauce:

  • 1 cup diced mango, fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha
  • 1/4 cup horseradish

Beer Batter:

  • 1 1/2 cups lager beer
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun spice
  • 1 egg yolk

Shrimp:

  • 1 cup seasoned all-purpose flour
  • Salt and ground white pepper
  • 2 dozen shrimp, 21 to 25 count, peeled and deveined shrimp, tail on
  • 8 cups vegetable oil

Directions

For the breading: In a small bowl, blend the panko and coconut and hold at room temperature until breading.

For the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the mangos with 1/4 cup cold water and the sugar until the mangos have started to break down, stirring throughout. This should take 10 to 12 minutes. Next, add the Sriracha and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and puree in a food processor or blender. Then add the horseradish. Serve or hold.

Cook's Note: When blending hot liquids, remove the liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer the liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

For the batter: In a medium mixing bowl, blend the lager, flour, baking powder, Cajun spice and egg yolk with a whisk; the batter should be thick like pancake batter consistency. If additional flour or liquid is needed, add and whisk again and hold cold until breading.

For the shrimp: Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 325 degrees F. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Lightly coat the shrimp, excluding the tails, with the seasoned flour, then dip in the beer batter. Evenly coat with the coconut breading, and repeat the process until all the shrimp have been dressed.

Carefully place the shrimp in the fryer and cook until golden brown. Repeat the process until all the shrimp have been cooked. Serve with the mango sauce.

    Forget about it. THIS IS AWESOME. I skipped the Mango Horseradish sauce and paired it with a Mango Chutney. Had about 30 people over and made a whole turkey spread with all the fixings and made this for an appetizer. So I didn't have time to make the Mango Horseradish. I am not a Mango fan. So when I tasted I just tasted the Coconut Shrimp and I figured how can you possible improve by adding anything to it. However, everyone was RAVING over the pairing of the Coconut Shrimp with the Chutney. I made again and decided to try it with the Chutney. OMG. Too good to describe... Pefect Combo.

    ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!! I made this recipe as an appetizer, it was soooo good, it became dinner. It was easy to make, although my batter started out a little thick, I simply added a little more beer and it turned out perfect.
