Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Large shrimp
- 1.5 cups Shredded coconut
- 1 cup Panko
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Sweet chili sauce
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Steps
- Set up the line: flour, beaten egg, then a 50/50 mix of coconut and panko pressed on firmly.
- Fry at 350°F for 2–3 minutes until deep golden; coconut browns fast, so watch closely.
- Drain on a rack — never paper towels, which steam the crust.
- Serve with sweet chili sauce and lime wedges; the crunch should shatter.
- Cook in small batches — crowded shrimp steam instead of crisping, and soggy coconut is a tragedy.
