Method
Shrimp Preparation
- 1
Season the Shrimp
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lime juice. Toss well to coat the shrimp evenly. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Breading
- 2
Prepare the Breading
Set up a dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs. Dip each marinated shrimp first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the eggs, and finally into the coconut-panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Frying

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Dipping Sauce
- 5
Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the sweet chili sauce and lime juice until well combined. Serve alongside the fried coconut shrimp.
