For the lightest, crispiest batter, ensure your beer is ice-cold. This helps to prevent the gluten in the flour from over-developing. Do not overcrowd the skillet when frying the shrimp. This will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy shrimp. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, or a homemade mango salsa.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ice-cold beer, egg, and salt until a smooth batter forms. (5 minutes)
02
StepSpread the sweetened coconut flakes evenly in a shallow dish.
03
StepDip each shrimp into the beer batter, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Then, gently press the battered shrimp into the coconut flakes, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the coated shrimp on a plate, avoiding stacking. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. (15 minutes)
04
StepIn a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it is hot but not smoking. (3-4 minutes)
05
StepCarefully lower about ⅓ of the coconut-covered shrimp into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway. (2-3 minutes)
06
StepTransfer the fried shrimp to a wire rack set over paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. (10 minutes)
