Caribbean Shrimp - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb. fresh or frozen raw shrimp (21 to 30 in shells)
    vegetable oil
    1/2 c. all-purpose flour
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/4 tsp. ground ginger
    1/2 c. nonalcoholic pina colada drink mix
    1 1/2 c. shredded coconut
    1 (12 oz.) jar orange marmalade
Preparation
    Peel shrimp, leaving tails on.
    (If shrimp are frozen, do not thaw; peel under running cold water.)
    Make a shallow cut lengthwise down back of each shrimp.
    Wash out vein and pat dry. Heat oil (2 to 3-inches) in deep fryer or Dutch oven to 325\u00b0. Mix flour mixture (flour, salt and ginger).
    Coat shrimp in flour mixture; dip into pina colada mix.
    Pat coconut onto shrimp, covering completely.
    Coconut adheres to shrimp if shrimp are fried immediately after being coated.
    Fry the shrimp about 2 minutes, turning once, until coconut is browned. Dip in marmalade or cocktail sauce.
