Coconut Shrimp Cooking Directions
1. Prepare the Shrimp
In a bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss the peeled and deveined shrimp in the mixture until evenly coated.
2. Set up Breading Station
Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
3. Bread the Shrimp
Dip each seasoned shrimp into the flour, shaking off excess. Next, dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the coconut-panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of the breading; it should sizzle immediately.
5. Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the oil and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce on the side.
