Method

Preparing the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs mixed with milk, and a combination of coconut flakes and panko breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    First, dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the coconut-panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Frying the Shrimp

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 5

    Fry the Shrimp

    Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Drain the Shrimp

    Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Making the Dipping Sauce

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the mango chutney, coconut milk, lime juice, and chopped cilantro until well combined.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the coconut shrimp hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
