Cooking with Ramen (instant noodles) #4: Coconut Shrimp

These are crunchy and delicious! Dip them in the yummy spicy orange-mustard sauce (recipe below). My absolute favourite dipping sauce for coconut shrimp is Red Lobster's pina colada dipping sauce (copy cat recipe below).

3/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup beer OR water
1 egg
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground red pepper
1 cup flaked coconut
2 packages ramen instant noodles any flavour crushed (seasoning packets discarded)
20 jumbo raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
Oil for frying.


Shrimp coating:
Whisk flour, beer, egg,baking powder, salt and red pepper in medium bowl. Combine coconut and noodles in another medium bowl. dip shrimp in beer batter; shake off excess. Coat with coconut mixture.

Heat oil in skillet and fry shrimp in batches about 3 minutes or until golden, turning once halfway through cooking. Drain on paper towel.

Spicy Orange-Mustard Sauce:
Combine 1/4 cup mustard, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp orange juice, 2 tsp orange peel, 1/2 tsp ground red pepper and 1/4 tsp ground ginger in small bowl until blended.

Pina Colada Dipping Sauce:
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup pina colada mix (liquid)
1/4 cup crushed pineapple (canned)
2 tsp. sugar (I don't add this, it is sweet enough with the pina colada mix)

Could i bake the shrimp in oven instead?

[yoyomax12]

@lowBpigpig I think you could try. Turn them halfway through the cooking time to get them brown on both sides. I would drizzle them with a bit of melted butter to help them get crisp and brown.

@highjackable oh whatever, i couldnt remember the word for it.

[highjackable]

@FallenMassacre13 evaporates, not dilutes.

[FallenMassacre13]

@123GIRR when you cook with alcohol, during the cooking process the alcohol dilutes when cooking.
