This is a great crowd-pleaser at a birthday party or similar event. It usually takes about 10 batches in a 2-quart fryer to complete.

Time 30m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups all-purpose flour, divided
5 cups cold club soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 quarts canola oil
8 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails attached
8 cups shredded unsweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Whisk 4 cups flour, club soda, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl to form a slightly lumpy batter.

These coconut shrimp were a bit of a disappointment. The shrimp were overcooked and tough, and the coconut coating was bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
