Coconut Shrimp

I am in Seattle and have eaten shrimp TWICE today (I love it a lot) and since this week I am going to post about something that has inspired me from Seattle here is a recipe:

Coconut Shrimp

1 cup Flake Coconut
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 lb. cleaned shrimp, Jumbo is easier!
1 egg, slightly beaten
oil for frying

Mix coconut, flour, salt and pepper. Dip shrimp in egg; roll in coconut mixture. Heat the oil in large deep skillet to a medium heat. Add shrimp; cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with lemon wedges or a sauce, if desired.

Original recipe at Kraft Foods.
