Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

24 Raw jumbo shrimp; peeled 1 1/2 c Shredded coconut
1/2 c Flour Oil; for deep frying
Salt 1 c Bottled cocktail sauce
2 Eggs; beaten 1/4 c Crushed pineapple

This Hawaiian-style shrimp dish came from the Safari Steakhouse
restaurant in the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel in Honolulu. The shrimp are
heavily coated with shredded coconut before being deep-fried and
served with a pineapple cocktail sauce. Ono nui means "very good" in
Hawaiian and this dish definitely lives up to its name.

Roll the shrimp in flour seasoned with salt, then dip in the beaten
egg. Roll the shrimp in the coconut, covering thoroughly. Deep-fry
the shrimp in oil heated to about 350 degrees until browned and
cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Mix
the cocktail sauce with the crushed pineapple. Serve the shrimp with
the sauce on the side.
