  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, season the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and shredded coconut.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with shredded coconut, pressing gently to adhere.

    In a serving dish, combine the shredded cabbage and sliced red bell pepper. Toss lightly.

  6. 6

    Serve
