Dredge shrimp in batter, shaking off excess batter and then dip into coconut, pressing gently and leaving tail exposed. Sprinkle more coconut on top of each piece to coat. Remove to a plate and repeat until all are done. Place shrimp in pan and fry until golden, turning throughout. Remove to plate when finished, approximately 3 minutes per side. Mix orange marmalade and drained horseradish together. Place 3 shrimp spaced to face the middle of a salad plate. Place a couple dollops of marmalade mixture in center of plate.
