• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon curry powder (preferably Madras style)
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Mix all ingredients in small bowl.
2. Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
3. Whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Add egg and club soda; whisk just until combined but still lumpy. Let stand 15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, pour enough vegetable oil into heavy large saucepan to come halfway up sides of pan. Attach deep-fry thermometer to pan; heat oil over medium heat to 375u0b0F.
5. Line baking sheet with paper towels. Spread coconut on plate. Working with 1 shrimp at a time, dip into batter, allowing excess to drip back into bowl, then roll in coconut. Working in batches, deep-fry shrimp until cooked through, about 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer shrimp to paper towels to drain. Serve hot with dipping sauce.
