Coconut Shrimp with Fruit Salsa

Coconut Shrimp with Fruit Salsa
This is our families recent favorite recipe - I make it with a side of broccoli beef and some brown rice! It's very easy and very tasty!
Ingredients:
SHRIMP
1 lb large tiger shrimp
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup orange juice
Pinch S&P
3/4-1 cup bread crumbs
1 cup dried coconut
1. De-poop, de-vein, and shell the shrimp (leave tails on).
2. Combine flour, baking powder, OJ in a bowl - whisk until there are no lumps.
3. Combine bread crumbs, coconut, and S&P in another bowl.
4. Dip shrimp in OJ mixture, then coat in coconut mixture.
5. Let rest in the refrigerator until time to cook.
6. Fry shrimp, when ready, in vegetable oil over the stove. (The oil must be hot enough to sizzle as soon as shrimp is submerged.) Cook until shrimp is golden brown, remove and let dry on papertowels.
FRUIT SALSA
Ingredients:
1 peach - peeled, small dice
1 red onion - small dice
1/2 pineapple - small dice
1/2 can of black beans
2 kiwis - peeled, small dice
1 handful lightly chopped cilantro
2 tbsp lime juice
S&P - TT

Mix produce and cilantro together in a small bowl, add lime juice, add S&P TT. Serve with coconut shrimp.

(Of course, you can add mangos and other fruits and veggies - these are the ones I normally use.)
