    3. Combine the remaining flour with another 2 t of the seasoning mix.

    5. NOTES:* Shrimp in coconut beer batter with dipping sauce -
    6. Paul Prudhomme's "Louisiana Kitchen." A nice appetizer, though very caloric.
    7. * Do not put too much batter on or possibly it will overwhelm the poor shrimp. The dipping sauce is great for other things as well.
    8. Difficulty: easy if you can deep-fry.
    9. Time: 15 min preparation, 15 min cooking.
    10. Precision: Measure batter, improvise with spices and dipping sauce.
