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.
