Preparation

Step 1

Starting with the tail, make a slit down the inner cruve of each shrimp; press lightly to flatten. In three separate bowls, place the flour, egg whites and coconut. Coat the shrimp with flour; dip into egg whites, then coat with the coconut.

In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375. Fry shrimp, a few at a time, for 1 to 1 1/2 mins. on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

In a small bowl, combine preserves and pina colada mix. Serve with shrimp.
