Yum now thats sounds really nice!

Something else to add to my food to do list!

Thanks

Sounds good.
The recipe I use is slightly different.

I make a beer batter and dry the shrimp and dredge in flour. I then dip it in the beer batter and then roll it in coconut.
It makes for a nice puffy delicious shrimp.
Rolling inf lour prior to dipping in batter is essential - the batter will mess up if you skip that.

Also, I use a nice spicy Thai pepper dip, or orange marmlade mixed with horseradish, cayenne, parsely and pink peppercorns.

yummy!

I don't eat shrimp, but you can prepare strips of chicken breast in the same way, it's really good.
