Method

Coconut Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with coconut flakes.

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
