This is a great crowd-pleaser at a birthday party or similar event. It usually takes about 10 batches in a 2-quart fryer to complete.

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups all-purpose flour, divided

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out great! The coconut sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, so I added a bit of lime juice to balance it out. Overall, this is a great recipe and I will definitely be making it again.
