Coconut Shrimp

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, mix the coconut flakes and panko breadcrumbs.

  2. 2

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat with the coconut and panko mixture. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the taco shells and fill them with crispy coconut shrimp. Top with your choice of fresh toppings such as shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and cilantro.
