Directions:
1. Place the beer, 1 cup flour, eggs, sugar, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well to form the batter. Transfer to a shallow dish. Place the remaining flour in another shallow dish and the shredded coconut in a third shallow dish.
2. Dip the shrimp in the dish of flour to coat well, shacking off any excess. Then dip in the batter, allowing to drain for a second, then into the shredded coconut, pressing gently so that the coconut adheres to the shrimp. Set aside.
3. Heat the oil in a deep pan, until hot enough to brown a small cube of bread in about 30 seconds. Cook the shrimp in small batches in the oil for about three minutes, or until golden brown and opaque. Remove from the oil, drain on paper towels, and set aside and keep warm.
4. Place a generous amount of Island slaw in the center of each serving plate. Arrange shrimp around the slaw and serve immediately with a small ramekin of Roberts Reserve Pineapple, Coconut, Mango, Tequila sauce.
