Quick Coconut Shrimp

• 1 pound uncooked jumbo shrimp (about 12), peeled and deveined
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
• 1-1/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
• Oil for deep-fat frying
• 1 jar (12 ounces) pineapple preserves
• 1 tablespoon frozen nonalcoholic pina colada mix, thawed

1. Starting with the tail, make a slit down the inner curve of each shrimp; press lightly to flatten. In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour, egg whites and coconut. Coat the shrimp with flour; dip into egg whites, then coat with the coconut.
2. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375u0b0. Fry shrimp, a few at a time, for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
3. In a small bowl, combine preserves and pina colada mix. Serve with shrimp.
