For the Coconut Fried Shrimp

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, place the coconut flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of shredded coconut and breadcrumbs combined.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp first in coconut flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the coconut-breadcrumb mixture. Ensure they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the coconut fried shrimp hot in a basket, optionally with dipping sauces like sweet chili or mango salsa.
