Coconut Shrimp with Mango Horseradish
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups (Japanese breadcrumbs), slightly crushed
- 1 cup diced mango, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1/4 cup horseradish
- 1 1/2 cups lager beer
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cajun spice
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup seasoned all-purpose flour
- Salt and ground white pepper
- 2 dozen shrimp, 21 to 25 count, peeled and deveined shrimp, tail on
- 8 cups vegetable oil
- For the breading: In a small bowl, blend the panko and coconut and hold at room temperature until breading.
- For the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the mangos with 1/4 cup cold water and the sugar until the mangos have started to break down, stirring throughout.
- This should take 10 to 12 minutes.
- Next, add the Sriracha and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and puree in a food processor or blender.
- Then add the horseradish.
- Serve or hold.
- Cook's Note: When blending hot liquids, remove the liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Transfer the liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway.
- If using a blender, release one corner of the lid.
- This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions.
- Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
- For the batter: In a medium mixing bowl, blend the lager, flour, baking powder, Cajun spice and egg yolk with a whisk; the batter should be thick like pancake batter consistency.
- If additional flour or liquid is needed, add and whisk again and hold cold until breading.
- For the shrimp: Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 325 degrees F. Season the flour with salt and pepper.
- Lightly coat the shrimp, excluding the tails, with the seasoned flour, then dip in the beer batter.
- Evenly coat with the coconut breading, and repeat the process until all the shrimp have been dressed.
- Carefully place the shrimp in the fryer and cook until golden brown.
- Repeat the process until all the shrimp have been cooked.
- Serve with the mango sauce.
