Instructions

For the shrimp

  • Heat oil to 350 F. Meanwhile, rinse the shrimp and pat dry.
  • In a shallow bowl or pie plate whisk together the Bisquick and beer.
  • In another shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together the flour, seasoning salt, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Place the coconut in a third shallow bowl. 
  • Working in batches, dip the shrimp into the wet batter. Then roll in the flour mixture. Lastly, roll in the coconut, pressing down slightly so that the coconut adheres.
  • Fry the shrimp for 1 minute. Flip and fry another minute, until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate.

For the dipping sauce

  • Combine all ingredients. Note: I'm a dipping sauce lover, so I did end up doubling the amount of dipping sauce.
