Preparation

Step 1

In small bowl, combine beer and pancake mix using a wire whisk. Dip a shrimp in flour; shake to remove excess flour. Dip shrimp in batter and let drip a few seconds to remove excess batter. Roll in coconut. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
Heat 3-4 inches of oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 375°. Carefully lower coconut-battered shrimp into hot oil and fry until golden brown. For best results, fry in small batches of 5 or 6 at a time. Serve with Orange Lime Dip.
