3. Dip the shrimp in beer batter and roll in coconut
4. Fry in oil heated to 350 in deep fryer, or deep saucepan

(I served with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus)

ReplyDeleteYes, I forgot to add that in. This dish was one of Ray's favorite and told me to keep this recipe. To me it was really good but I think I like sauteed or grilled shrimp better.
