SPICY SHRIMP IN COCONUT SAUCE
This is a Brazilian favorite from the state of Bahia. If you can't find dende oil, a Brazilian staple palm oil, you can substitute annato or peanut oil, but the flavor won't be quite as authentic. Still delicious, though, this dish is a flavorful stir fry addition to your menu.

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
Steps:
- Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, five-spice powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and beer until smooth. In another bowl, combine the shredded coconut with the bread crumbs. Holding the shrimp by the tail, dip them into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dip them into the coconut bread crumbs (turning and pressing to get full coverage). Keeping one hand dry will make this whole process neater.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 inch of oil to 365°F. Gently submerge shrimp, about six at a time, and fry for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with additional salt. Serve the shrimp warm, with Spicy Peanut Sauce.

- Bring the sauce to room temperature, and serve it with the coconut shrimp.
