Preparation

Step 1

1 In small microwavable bowl, microwave dipping sauce ingredients uncovered on High 30 to 50 seconds. Stir until blended; set aside.

2 In small bowl, beat eggs with whisk or fork. In medium bowl, stir together Bisquick mix, coconut, ginger, cardamom and salt.

3 In large electric skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Dip each shrimp into eggs, then into Bisquick mixture; dip again in eggs and in Bisquick mixture. Cook shrimp in batches in hot oil about 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until coating is crisp and golden brown and shrimp are pink. Drain on paper towels.

If you’re in a hurry, skip the dipping sauce and serve the shrimp with purchased sweet-and-sour sauce.
