Coconut Firecracker Shrimp Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Shrimp
In a bowl, season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.
Set Up Breading Station
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
Bread the Shrimp
Dredge each shrimp in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the coconut-panko mixture. Press gently to ensure coating adheres.
Fry the Shrimp
Fry the breaded shrimp in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, honey, and lime juice until combined.
Serve
Serve the crispy coconut shrimp hot with the spicy dipping sauce on the side.
