When we can’t make it a restaurant and get the real deal we make copycat versions at home. Like this copycat Bubba Gump’s Dumb Luck Coconut Shrimp. Crazy good coconut-crusted deep-fried shrimp with a fantastic Cajun marmalade sauce.
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.
