Tastes of Hawaii Recipe – Beer Battered Coconut Shrimp From Kauai's Old Plantation Days

Week 11—Beer Battered Coconut Shrimp!

Beer Battered Coconut Shrimp Recipe

  • 12 pieces jumbo shrimp
  • 3 cups beer
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. garlic salt
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. white pepper
  • 2 cups panko crumbs
  • 2 cups shredded coconut
  • 1 egg

Directions

Peel and de-vein and butterfly the shrimp. Soak shrimp in iced water with the salt and white pepper for 15 minutes. Mix panko and coconut and set aside. Blend remaining ingredients to make a fresh beer batter. Dip shrimp in beer batter then roll in coconut and panko mix. Deep fry until golden brown. Serve with your choice of sauce.

As mentioned in my first recipe blog, Hawaii is a wonderful mix of cultures and each of these peoples brought with them their customs and foods. The early plantation days saw these combining cultures creating foods that are unique only to Hawaii. We thank these early pioneers who planted and nurtured these plantation fields and created many of these amazing recipes.
