Coconut Crunchy Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In another bowl, mix the tempura batter mix with cold water until smooth. Do not overmix.

  3. 3

    Coat the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in all-purpose flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the tempura batter, then coat with shredded coconut.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully place coated shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with mango habanero sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
