Coconut Shrimp Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Breading Stations
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with coconut flakes mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
Coat the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp first in the flour, shaking off excess, then in the egg, and finally in the coconut mixture. Ensure each shrimp is well-coated.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Drain and Serve
Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with lime wedges.
