Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, egg, milk, salt, and black pepper to create a batter.

  2. 2

    Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  3. 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the battered fish fillets.

  4. 4

    Fry the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Shrimp Sauce

    In another skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté until translucent.

  6. 6

    Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.

  7. 7

    Stir in tomato sauce, coconut milk, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  8. 8

    Finish by adding fresh cilantro and stirring well.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Place the fried fish on a plate and generously spoon the shrimp sauce over the top before serving.
