Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 teaspoon tamarind paste
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons mild honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups sweetened flaked coconut (10 ounces)
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup beer (not dark)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 large egg
6 cups vegetable oil
48 medium shrimp, peeled, leaving tail and first segment of shell intact, and, if desired, deveined (1 1/2 pound)

Steps:

  • Make sauce:.
  • Whisk tamarind concentrate into lime juice in a small bowl until dissolved. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients and chill, covered.
  • Prepare shrimp:.
  • Coarsely chop coconut and transfer half to a shallow soup bowl or pie plate.
  • Whisk together flour, beer, baking soda, salt, cayenne, and egg in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Heat oil in a 4- to 6-quart deep heavy pot over moderately high heat until it registers 350°F on thermometer.
  • While oil is heating, coat shrimp:.
  • Hold 1 shrimp by tail and dip into batter, letting excess drip off, then dredge in coconut, coating completely and pressing gently to help adhere. Transfer to a plate and coat remaining shrimp in same manner, adding remaining coconut to bowl as needed.
  • Fry shrimp in oil in batches of 8, turning once, until golden, about 1 minute. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season lightly with salt. Skim any coconut from oil and return oil to 350°F between batches.
  • Serve shrimp with sauce.

This dish is a bit pricey to make, but it's a special occasion meal. I only make it once or twice a year.

I'm not a fan of tamarind, so I used a different dipping sauce. The coconut shrimp were still delicious, though.

I substituted panko breadcrumbs for the coconut flakes, and it turned out great! The panko gave the shrimp a nice crispy coating.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this dish. The tamarind ginger sauce is so flavorful that it takes away any coconutty taste.

The coconut shrimp were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the tamarind ginger sauce was delicious. I'll try again with a lower cooking temperature.
