Time 20m

Yield 20 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 9

oil (for frying)
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon garlic salt
2 teaspoons cayenne
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
20 raw shrimp, shelled (16 to 20 per lb)
20 wood skewers, about 15 cm (6 inches)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oil in the fryer to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • In a deep plate or shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic salt and cayenne. Season with pepper. Place the eggs in another bowl and the coconut in a third.
  • Thread 1 shrimp on each skewer.
  • Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture and shake to remove any excess. Dip in the beaten eggs then roll in the coconut, pressing firmly.
  • Fry half the shrimp at a time until golden brown, about 1 minute. Drain on the paper towels.
  • Serve immediately. For fun, you can have the skewers sticking out of something, like a pineapple or watermelon.
