Shrimp
Pina Colada Sauce
Method
Prepare the Sauce
Make the Pina Colada Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, pineapple juice, brown sugar, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warm. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Shrimp
Prepare the Beer Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beer, flour, salt, and black pepper until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the shrimp.
Coat the Shrimp
Dip each Royal Red shrimp into the beer batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, roll each battered shrimp in the coconut flakes to coat.
Fry the Shrimp
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the shrimp from the oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve
Plating
Serve the crispy coconut shrimp hot with the warm pina colada sauce for dipping.
