These Easy Crispy Coconut Shrimp are crisp, golden and delicious served a sweet N’ spicy & a creamy basil dipping sauces!
Ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 lb. large Shrimp, 21-25 count, peeled and deveined with tails on
- ½ cup Flour
- ½ tsp. Garlic Powder
- ½ tsp. Fine Sea Salt
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 1 ½ cups Shredded Coconut
- ½ cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- Olive Oil, for cooking
- ¼ cup Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
- ¼ cup Apricot Preserves
- ½ cup Sour Cream
- 1 ripe Avocado
- ½ cup Fresh Basil Leaves
- Juice of 1 Lime
TIPS for Making Crispy Coconut Shrimp:
- Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel to prevent any moisture underneath the coconut coating.
- Make sure the oil is hot before adding the shrimp; otherwise, the shrimp may overcook before the coating gets crispy.
- After frying, immediately plate on a paper towel lined plate to drain any excess oils.
Can Coconut Shrimp be Oven Baked?
Yes, you can bake in the oven at 400F for 5-6 minutes, until cooked through. I recommend lining a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper and generously drizzling the shrimp in olive oil prior to baking. It may not be as crispy, but still delicious!!
