Time 53m

Yield 20 shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 14

Canola, vegetable or peanut oil for frying, as needed
2 cups cornstarch
1 cup light or regular beer, chilled
1 cup soda water, chilled
1 egg
Salt
1 1/2 cups unsweetened, shredded coconut
20 medium sized shrimp, deveined and shelled with tails left on
Bamboo skewers soaked in water for 1 hour
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 cup coconut milk, light or regular
1 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • For the shrimp:
  • Pour enough oil into a medium sized saucepan so that it is half full. Place the pot over medium to high heat until the oil reaches 340 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a medium sized mixing bowl, add the cornstarch. Stir in the beer, soda water, egg and a pinch of salt until combined. In a separate bowl, add coconut. Place shrimp, tail end first, on bamboo skewers. Dip each skewer into the cornstarch batter and then into the coconut. Fry the shrimp in the oil until the coconut is nicely browned and the shrimp are cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Place shrimp skewers onto a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  • For the dipping sauce:
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the pumpkin puree, curry powder and brown sugar. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Slowly add the coconut milk and continue to cook. Lower the heat and let the ingredients simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and cool. Add the lime juice and salt, to taste. Serve in a bowl alongside the coconut shrimp.

This dish was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The shrimp were crispy and flavorful, and the dipping sauce was creamy and flavorful.

I had some trouble finding pumpkin curry paste, so I used regular yellow curry paste instead. It still turned out great.

The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the dipping sauce was delicious.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less curry paste.

This was a great recipe for a party. The shrimp were easy to make ahead of time, and the dipping sauce can be made in a blender.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the coconut shrimp pairs perfectly with the spiciness of the curry sauce.
