Coconut Shrimp With Spicy Peanut Sauce Recipe

Pat the shrimp dry. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, five-spice powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and beer until smooth. In another bowl, combine the shredded coconut with the bread crumbs. Holding the shrimp by the tail, dip them into the coconut bread crumbs (turning and pressing to get full coverage). Keeping one hand dry will make this process easier.)

Heat 1-inch oil to 365 degress in a large pot. Submerge shrimp, about 6 at a time and fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain shrimp on paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with salt (optional). Serve with warm Spicy peanut sauce.
