Coconut Shrimp With Dipping Sauce

I watched paula deen make this with her son today. I love coconut shrimp so i can't wait to give this one a try.

Steps

Dipping sauce:.

Add all dipping sauce ingredients to a pot on a low temperature.

Heat for 10 minutes , making sure you stir ingredients every few minutes.

In a large , heavy pot , heat 2-inches of the peanut oil to 325 degrees f.

Meanwhile , in a large bowl , whisk together the flour , salt , and baking powder.

Add the water and whisk until smooth.

Let the batter stand for 15 minutes.

In a wide , shallow bowl , toss the coconut and bread crumbs together.

Put the shrimp into the batter.

Remove the shrimp , 1 at a time , and dredge in the coconut mixture , pressing to help the coconut adhere.

Fry the shrimp in batches in the hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes or until brown.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a baking sheet lined with paper towels.

Serve the shrimp with the dipping sauce.
