Step 1

1. Preheat the oil in the fryer to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
2. In a deep plate or shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic salt and cayenne. Season with pepper. Place the eggs in another bowl and the coconut in a third.
3. Thread 1 shrimp on each skewer.
4. Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture and shake to remove any excess. Dip in the beaten eggs then roll in the coconut, pressing firmly.
