- 1 large egg
- 2/3 cup beer
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 cups flaked coconut

For the coconut shrimp:
Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, beer, baking powder and 1/2 cup of the flour. Place remaining 1/4 cup flour in a shallow dish. Place coconut in a separate shallow dish. Dredge shrimp in flour and shake off excess. Dunk shrimp in beer mixture and turn to coat. Roll shrimp in coconut until all sides are coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook 2 minutes per side, until cooked through or opaque.
For the garlic coulis:
In a food processor, combine 1/2 of the roasted garlic cloves (about 1/3 cup), tomatoes, lime juice, and curry powder. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
Serve shrimp with the coulis on the side. Reserve second 1/2 of garlic (about 1/3 cup) for another recipe.

The sauce in this recipe is awesome but should be pared with plain shrimp and rice. The batter and coconut were too heavy for the taste of the shrimp and sauce. It would be cleaner and have more diet awareness plain. I did try the batter and coconut on tofu when I made this, it was OK.

Have to agree with the person who posted their concerns about thawing the shrimp in room temp water. That is a major food safety issue and for those who have been doing so - you've been lucky so far. Please be careful with such a practice if you have family or friends who are children, pregnant, or have any health issues.

I really like the taste of this. The garlic coulis was good but it seemed as though something was missing. I might add more lime next time. Or add all the garlic instead of saving the garlic for another time.
