   1 1/2  pounds        jumbo shrimp
   1      tablespoon    fresh lime juice
   1      cup           all-purpose flour
   2                    eggs -- beaten
   1 1/2  cups          coconut -- freshly grated
   4      tablespoons   clarified butter
                        OR vegetable oil
                        salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Place the shrimp in a mixing bowl and toss with the lime juice and salt and pepper. Let marinate for 5 minutes. 2. Place the flour in a shallow bowl, the eggs in another shallow bowl, and the coconut in a third. 3. Just before serving, melt the butter in a large heavy skillet. Dip each shrimp first in flour, shaking off the excess, then in the egg mixture, then finally in the coconut. 4. Cook the shrimp over medium heat until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Drain the shrimp on paper towels, and then arrange on doily-lined plated or a platter. 5. Serve the coconut shrimp with Apricot-Horseradish Sauce for dipping
