1 1/2 lbs	681g / 24oz	Jumbo shrimp
1 tablespoon	15ml	Fresh lime juice
1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	All-purpose flour
2		Eggs - beaten
1 1/2 cups	139g / 4.9oz	Coconut - freshly grated

Recipe Instructions

1. Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Place the shrimp in a mixing bowl and toss with the lime juice and salt and pepper. Let marinate for 5 minutes.

2. Place the flour in a shallow bowl, the eggs in another shallow bowl, and the coconut in a third.

3. Just before serving, melt the butter in a large heavy skillet. Dip each shrimp first in flour, shaking off the excess, then in the egg mixture, then finally in the coconut.

4. Cook the shrimp over medium heat until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain the shrimp on paper towels, and then arrange on doily-lined plated or a platter.

5. Serve the coconut shrimp with Apricot-Horseradish Sauce for dipping
