Coconut Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Coconut Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper together. In another bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. Place the coconut flakes in a separate shallow dish.

  2. 2

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Dip them into the beaten eggs, and then coat them well with the coconut flakes, pressing gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, without overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the coconut shrimp hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
