2 t of the seasoning mix, about 1 1/4 cups of flour, the beer and the baking powder, and place this in a third bowl. Combine the remaining flour with another 2 t of the seasoning mix.

NOTES:

* Shrimp in coconut beer batter with dipping sauce -- Adapted from Chef Paul Prudhomme's "Louisiana Kitchen." A nice appetizer, though very caloric.

* Don't put too much batter on or 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 minutes preparation, 15 minutes cooking. :

Precision: Measure batter, improvise with spices and dipping sauce. : Nicholas Horton : Aiken Computation Lab, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., USA : horton@harvard.harvard.edu harvard!horton : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
