Method

For the Coconut Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Set Up Dredging Stations

    Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one mixed with shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Dredge the Shrimp

    Coat each shrimp in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with the coconut and panko mixture.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

For the Port Honey Dipping Sauce

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine port wine, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic.
