Crunchy Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Orange Marmalade Sauce

• 1/2 cup PILLSBURY BEST® All-Purpose or Unbleached Flour
  
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
  
• 1 teaspoon jerk seasoning
  
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  
• 1 -3/4 cups unsweetened shredded wheat, crushed
  
• CRISCO® All-Vegetable Shortening* for frying
  
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  
• 24 large tail shrimp, shell attached (about 1-1/2 pounds)

For the dip:

• 1 1/2 cups SMUCKER'S® Sweet Orange Marmalade
  
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
  
• 2 teaspoons Crisco® Pure Canola Oil
  
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  
• 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or to taste)

Directions for the shrimp:

Melt enough shortening to equal 2 inches in a deep frying pan, or use an electric deep fryer half-filled with shortening; heat to 350°(365°for electric fryer).

In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, jerk seasoning, and paprika. Pour coconut milk into a second bowl. In a third bowl or shallow plate, combine the crushed shredded wheat and flaked coconut. Lay out cooling racks and place waxed paper underneath them to catch drippings.

Working in assembly-line fashion, hold each shrimp by the tail, coat with the flour mixture, dip into the coconut milk and coat with the crushed wheat/coconut mixture. Place shrimp on a rack and repeat process until all shrimp are coated.

Fry 6 or 8 shrimp at a time, for 1-2 minutes or until golden and crispy. Bring oil back to 350°(365° for electric fryer) before frying next batch. As each batch finishes, drain shrimp on a paper towel before transferring to a serving platter. Serve hot or warm with dip.

Note: Shrimp may be prepared in advance and frozen for up to 2 weeks. To serve, defrost slightly and re-crisp at 375°.
