Instructions
-
In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
-
In another bowl, combine the shredded coconut and breadcrumbs. Mix well and set aside.
-
Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the coconut and breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to coat the shrimp evenly with the mixture.
-
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Carefully place the coated shrimp into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5 minutes, or until the shrimp turns golden brown and crispy.
-
After frying the shrimp, take them out of the oil and put them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any extra oil. Repeat this procedure until all the shrimp are fried. Serve the hot coconut shrimp with your preferred dipping sauce, like sweet chili sauce. Enjoy your tasty homemade coconut shrimp!
Notes
Note: Be cautious while handling hot oil, and make sure to follow proper safety precautions.
