Description

Crispy, golden-brown coconut shrimp served with a sweet and spicy chili sauce for dipping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl, season the flour with salt and pepper. In another bowl, place the beaten eggs. In a third bowl, combine the shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
  2. Dip each shrimp first into the seasoned flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the coconut and panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  3. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded shrimp in batches, cooking until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
