How to make it
1
Shrimp Bites: In food processor, pulse Cap’n Crunch® Original until finely ground. Transfer to shallow dish.
2
In medium bowl, whisk together masa harina and baking powder. Whisk in beer and egg until smooth.
3
Transfer cornmeal to another medium bowl.
4
One at a time, dredge shrimp in cornmeal, dip in egg mixture and roll in crushed Cap’n Crunch® until evenly coated. Arrange on parchment paper–lined baking tray. Freeze for 10 to 15 minutes (this will ensure coating is set).

Pour enough oil into medium saucepan or high-sided skillet to reach 2 inches up sides. Heat over medium heat until shimmering or instant-read thermometer registers 350°F.
6
Working in batches, fry shrimp, flipping once, for 4 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to paper towel–lined plate to drain.

Dipping Sauce: Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together marmalade, honey, Dijon and hot sauce.
