(adapted from Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen) A nice appetizer, though very caloric.

Ingredients

(Serves 12 as appetizer)

Seasoning

mix

Dipping

sauce

Shrimp

and

Procedure

  1. Combine the seasoning mix together in a bowl.
  2. Stir the dipping sauce ingredients together in a second bowl. Have this ready at the table when the shrimp are done.
  3. Mix together 2 tsp of the seasoning mix, 1 1/4 cups of flour, the beer and the baking powder, and place this in a third bowl.
  4. Combine the remaining flour with another 2 tsp of the seasoning mix.
  5. Coat each shrimp with the remaining seasoning mix, then in the flour mixture, then in the batter, then in the coconut. Deep-fry the shrimp for about 1 minute and drain on paper towels.

Notes

Don't put too much batter on or it will overwhelm the poor shrimp. The dipping sauce is great for other things as well.

Rating


Difficulty: easy if you can deep-fry.
Time: 15 minutes preparation, 15 minutes cooking.
Precision: Measure batter, improvise with spices and dipping sauce.
