Crispy Coconut Shrimp

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in flour, dip it into the eggs, then coat it with the coconut-panko mixture. Make sure each shrimp is well-coated.
