When beer batter is ready, preheat oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to about 350 degrees. Use enough oil to completely cover the shrimp. Pour remainder of coconut into a shallow bowl.

Be sure shrimp are dry before battering. Sprinkle each shrimp lightly with paprika before the next step.

To prepare marmalade sauce: Combine all ingredients. Serve shrimp with sauce on side.
