Recipe Tips!

1. Choosing Shrimp: Opt for larger shrimp for easier preparation and a more satisfying dining experience. Look out for sales at grocery stores to save on costs.
2. Deveining: Although the dark line on the back of shrimp isn’t harmful, deveining can enhance both the appearance and taste of your dish. Use a sharp paring knife or a shrimp deveiner tool for easy removal.
3. Preparation: Coat the shrimp evenly in the flour mixture to ensure a flavorful base for the breading to adhere to.
4. Breading Process: Dip the flour-coated shrimp in the egg mixture, then coat them thoroughly in the coconut and breadcrumb mixture. This double coating ensures a crispy and flavorful outer layer.
5. Cooking: Use coconut oil for frying to infuse a subtle tropical flavor into the shrimp. Cook them for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and curl up, indicating they’re perfectly cooked.
6. Draining: After cooking, place the shrimp on paper towels to drain excess oil and ensure they stay crispy.

By following these tips, you’ll create delicious and visually appealing coconut shrimp that will impress your guests or make for a delightful family meal.
