How to make Coconut Shrimp
Method
Step 1: In a bowl combine all the ingredients for the dipping sauce, mix well. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Step 2: In a medium bowl mix ¾ cup of flour, and add milk and mix well. Let batter sit for a few minutes. In another bowl or pie plate mix another ¾ cup of flour, sugar and salt. In a third bowl mix Panko breadcrumbs and flaked coconut.
Step 3: Butterfly each shrimp. Use a sharp knife and cut through the back of the shrimp (where the vein was) so you can spread it opened. Leave the tail intact.
Step 4: One by one dip each shrimp in the flour mixture, then the batter mixture and then the breadcrumb/coconut mixture. Coat evenly.
Step 5: Deep fry the shrimp in batches at 350 degrees for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with dipping sauce.
