Coconut Shrimp Ingredients
Method
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Breading Station
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with a mixture of shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
Season the Shrimp
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper.
Bread the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp in flour, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat with the coconut-panko mixture. Ensure they are well coated.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it's hot but not smoking.
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully place the breaded shrimp in the hot oil and fry in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and Serve
Remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with a side of chili sauce mixed with lime juice for dipping.
