COCONUT SHRIMP LOLLYPOPS WITH APRICOT-GINGER DIPPING SAUCE



Coconut Shrimp Lollypops with Apricot-Ginger Dipping Sauce image

Provided by Bob Blumer - Host of Surreal Gourmet and Glutton for Punishment

Categories     appetizer

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup apricot jam
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 jalepeno pepper, seeds discarded, minced
2 tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar or freshly squeezed lime juice
1 coconut, or 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup beer
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 egg
12 shrimp (16 to 20 count) shelled and deveined
12 bamboo skewers, approximately 5 inches
3 to 5 cups peanut oil, or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place all apricot dipping sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Reserve.
  • Pierce the soft eye of the coconut and drain the coconut water. Reserve.
  • Crack coconut in 1/2 using the back of a cleaver.
  • Separate the coconut meat from the shell. Use a pairing knife to remove the brown skin from the meat. Using the finest part of your grater, grate 2 cups of coconut .
  • Pour coconut water in a measuring cup and if necessary top off with beer until you have 3/4 cup of liquid. Reserve. If you are using store-bought shredded coconut (and consequently do not have any coconut water) replace mixture with 3/4 cup of beer.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, coconut water/beer mixture, baking soda, salt, cayenne, and egg. Beat until it is smooth. Add a bit more flour or beer, if necessary, so that the batter has the consistency of thick pancake batter.
  • Tightly wrap each shrimp like a pinwheel (with the tail end of the shrimp on the outside) and skewer 1 shrimp on the end of each skewer. Use a paper towel to pat the shrimp dry.
  • Pour oil into a small, tall pot until it is 3 inches deep. Heat oil until it reaches 350 degrees F (see oil dissertation below).
  • While oil is heating, dip each shrimp into the batter, then dredge into the coconut shreds so that the entire "lollypop" is covered in coconut shreds.
  • When oil is ready, submerge 4 shrimp at a time into oil (with the skewers sticking out of the pot). Fry for approximately 1 minute, or until coconut is a golden brown, rotating the top of the skewer once or twice. Remove and place lollypops on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
  • Skim any wayward coconut shreds from the oil. Adjust heat so that it is 350 degrees F again and continue with next batch. Serve with apricot dipping sauce. For a creative presentation, stick skewers into an upturned pineapple or melon 1/2 and/or serve the dip in a coconut 1/2 (the side without the hole!)
