Coconut Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine the coconut milk, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and let them marinate for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in one, beat the egg in another, and put the shredded coconut in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Remove shrimp from the marinade. Dredge each shrimp in flour, dip in egg, then coat with shredded coconut.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded shrimp in batches, frying until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the coconut shrimp with chili sauce, topped with chopped cilantro and alongside pickled daikon and carrots.
