Preheat your 2 inches of oil in a dutch oven to 350ºF.
Meanwhile, prepare the batter by mixing together the beer, flour, egg, and salt in a medium bowl until the batter is smooth. Place coconut on a plate.
Dip each shrimp into the batter and roll in the flaked coconut. Fry shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve.
Notes
Serve with cocktail sauce or a tartar sauce.
Keep the shrimp warm while waiting for the others to fry by covering the plate with foil.
Perfect Pairing
Serve this Beer Battered Coconut Shrimp with Apple Gin and Tonic.
