Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred for extra crunch)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce (for serving)

Instructions

Follow these straightforward instructions to create your Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Chili Sauce:

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, prepare the flour (mixed with salt and pepper), beaten eggs, and a mixture of coconut and breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat the Shrimp:
  • Dip each shrimp into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated.
  • Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
  • Finally, coat the shrimp in the coconut-breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Fry the Shrimp: Carefully add the coated shrimp in batches, ensuring not to crowd the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the shrimp from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  4. Serve Warm: Serve your crispy coconut shrimp immediately with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping.

These simple steps make preparing Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Chili Sauce not only achievable but also enjoyable.
