EASY COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Start with 3 medium bowls. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in one. Beat the eggs in the second bowl. Combine Panko and coconut in the third bowl.
• Dip the shrimp into the flour, then the eggs, and then dredge the shrimp into the coconut mixture, pressing gently to adhere. You want a lot of coconut on each shrimp. Set the coated shrimp aside on a plate as you coat the remaining shrimp.
• Add enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the coconut shrimp in batches such as 7-8 shrimp at a time- do not crowd them in the pan. Flip after 2 minutes and fry the other side for 2 minutes or until golden brown. We prefer ours a little darker, so I fry each side for about 2:30-3 minutes.
• Place the finished coconut shrimp on a plate lined with a paper towel as you fry the rest. Sprinkle with finely chopped cilantro. Mix dipping sauce ingredients together and serve with shrimp.
• Cover and store leftover shrimp in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• OPTIONAL: To butterfly shrimp, insert a knife about three-quarters of the way into the shrimp at the top. Cut a slit down the centre of the shrimp's back to the tail. Use your fingertip to open the flesh of the shrimp slightly. They don't need to be flat. Season with salt and pepper, set aside.
• In one shallow bowl, add 1/2 cup flour for dredging. In another shallow bowl, whisk the batter ingredients together until combined. The batter should resemble pancake consistency. If too thick, add a little extra beer or mineral water, whisking between each addition. In the third bowl, mix together the shredded coconut and bread crumbs.
• Dredge in the flour (shake off excess), dip in the batter (shake off excess) and coat in the breadcrumb/coconut mixture. Lightly press the coconut onto the shrimp.
• Place onto prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining shrimp. Arrange shrimp in a single layer and freeze until firm (about 30-45 minutes).
• In a dutch oven or deep skillet, heat vegetable oil (about 2-3 inches deep in the pot) until nice and hot.
• Fry the FROZEN shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain them on a paper towel lined plate.
• Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce.

Steps:

• Heat about 2-inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or large Dutch oven over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, put the eggs in one shallow dish. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper together in a medium bowl. Transfer half the flour mixture to a third bowl and stir in the coconut.
• Working in batches, dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, shake off any excess, dip in the eggs, and then roll in the coconut mixture, pressing to coat thoroughly. Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature. Transfer the shrimp to paper towels to drain. Serve with sweet chili or sweet and sour sauce on the side for dipping.

COCONUT SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Remove shells from shrimp, but leave tails on for easier cooking and eating. Set aside.
• Make the batter by first mixing the dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
• Crack the egg into the flour mixture, then add the water, stirring to break the yolk, and form a fairly smooth batter (don't worry if there are a few small lumps).
• Spread coconut over a plate or other dry surface, and set beside the bowl of batter. Then hold the shrimp by the tail, (using tongs make this easier) and dip into the batter.
• Take the batter-coated shrimp and immediately drop it into the coconut, roll it around to make sure it is coated, then lift and place onto a kitchen-paper-covered plate.
• Pour oil into a frying pan, ensuring it's at least 1 inch deep. Set over medium-high to high heat. Test the temperature by dropping a tiny bit of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and cooks, the oil is ready. Drop a few shrimp at a time into the hot oil, reduce the heat to medium and fry quickly turning frequently. You will need about 20 seconds on each side.
• Cook about 20 seconds per side, then turn with tongs. Remove from the oil when shrimp turn a light to medium golden brown. Drain on a clean piece of parchment paper. Serve hot straight from the pan or accompany with a sweet chili sauce or a fresh mango dip .
