2. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup coconut, sugar, salt, flour, and beer. Mix well, cover,
and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F.
4. Pour the rest of the coconut flakes into a shallow bowl. Dip one shrimp at a time into the
batter, then roll the battered shrimp in the coconut.

Drain on paper towels.
