Ingredients
- 250g large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- Half coconut shredded .
- Corn flour - 100 g
- Maida - 100 g
- Chilly powder - 1 tspn
- Pepper powder - 1 tspn
- Baking powder - 1/2 tbspn
- Salt to taste
- Cooking oil
- Water for batter

*Methods to prepare*

1) Prepare Desiccated Coconut : In a pan , add shredded coconut to a medium flame and saute it for 2 to 3 mins until the color change and keep it aside.
2) In a bowl , add maida , baking powder , corn flour ,salt , spices and added water as needed to make a batter .Batter should not be too thick and must be in running consistency .
3) Butterfly a shrimp - There are two ways to butterfly a shrimp. We can do the slit either in front or at the back.
I personally prefer slicing at the back part of the shrimp because it saves me time. You see, the veins track of the shrimp is located at the back. Since we need to do a slit on the back to remove the veins, all we needed is to make the slit deeper so that we can remove the veins and make it like butterfly ( the shrimp) at the same time.
4) Now take a shrimp and coat with corn flour , dip in to batter and then coat in the desiccated coconut as explained in the video and arrange it in a plate.
5) In a frying pan , add Oil as needed to fry. Once the oil is heated , add the coated shrimp and fry it until golden brown for 2 mins.
* Do not overcook the shrimp. Make sure that you are cooking in low to medium heat; also, remove the shrimp once it turns light to golden brown.
