- ---To Prepare the Shrimp---.
- De-vein and peel off the shell back to the tail.
- Leave the last segment of the shell plus the tail as a handle.
- When the batter is ready, preheat oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to about 350°F.
- Use enough oil to cover the shrimp completely.
- Pour the remainder of the coconut into a shallow bowl.
- Be sure the shrimp are dry before battering.
- Sprinkle each shrimp lightly with paprika before the next step.
- Dip one shrimp at a time into the batter, coating generously.
- Drop the battered shrimp into the coconut and roll it around so that it is well coated.
- Deep-fry four shrimp at a time for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp become golden brown.
- Flip the shrimp halfway through.
- Drain on paper towels briefly before serving with marmalade sauce on the side.
