Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of bread crumbs and coconut flakes.

  2. 2

    Season Shrimp

    In a bowl, toss the shrimp with salt and black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bread the Shrimp

    Dredge each shrimp in flour, dipping into the egg, and then coating with the bread crumb and coconut mixture. Ensure each shrimp is well coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded shrimp in batches, frying until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Rice Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, create a bed of rice, top with the fried shrimp, and drizzle with your choice of teriyaki or sweet chili sauce.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions if desired. Serve immediately.
