Coconut Shrimps


Ingredients:
1.) 1 lb shrimps (I used 20 jumbo sized ones)
2.) 1/2 cup bread crumbs
3.) 1.5 cups of sweetened coconut flakes
4.) 1 cup of flour
5.) 1 egg
6.) 2 teaspoons baking powder
7.) 1 teaspoon paprika
8.) 1 teaspoon garlic
9.) 1 teaspoon salt
10.) 1 teaspoon pepper flakes
11.) 1 cup water
12.) Extra flour


Directions:
Wash the shrimps well and peel off the shell…set aside.

Mix #2 and 3 ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Mix #4 to 11 ingredients in another bowl and set aside (this will be the batter).

Dip the shrimps into the extra flour (right plate), dust off excess then dip into the batter (middle bowl) and then into the coconut/bread crumbs mixture (left bowl).


Arrange shrimps on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 20minutes.


Fry shrimps until they are browned on both sides and serve with favorite dipping sauce.
