- NOTES:* Shrimp in coconut beer batter with dipping sauce -
- Paul Prudhomme's "Louisiana Kitchen." A nice appetizer, though very caloric.
- * Do not put too much batter on or possibly it will overwhelm the poor shrimp. The dipping sauce is great for other things as well.
- Difficulty: easy if you can deep-fry.
- Time: 15 min preparation, 15 min cooking.
- Precision: Measure batter, improvise with spices and dipping sauce.
