Coconut Shrimp
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Marinate the Shrimp
In a bowl, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Bread the Shrimp
Remove shrimp from marinade. Dredge each shrimp first in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with shredded coconut.
Fry the Shrimp
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the coconut-coated shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve the coconut shrimp hot with Thai chili sauce for dipping.
