Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • 3 Shallow bowl
  • Whisk
  • Sheet tray
  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp (tails on)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne
  • Kosher salt and pepper
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup panko
  • 1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Sweet Thai chili sauce for dipping, or any desired sauce*
  • Sliced chives or scallions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Toss shrimp with paprika, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Next prepare your breading station.
  • Add flour to a shallow bowl. Place eggs in another shallow bowl and whisk.
  • Mix panko and coconut in another shallow bowl.
  • Dredge shrimp in flour, then egg, then panko mixture, making sure to evenly coat the shrimp in each step. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Place on a sheet tray and set aside while you heat the oil. (this rest time will allow the breading to adhere to the shrimp.)
  • In a large skillet, add enough vegetable oil to come up about a 1/2 inch. Heat until hot, around 325-350ºF. (You can check by adding a bit of breading to see if it sizzles).
  • Carefully add some of the shrimp to the pan and cook until golden, about 3-4 minutes (depending on shrimp size).
  • Remove shrimp to a sheet tray lined with paper towel (and a rack if you have it!). Sprinkle with a touch of salt. Repeat the frying process until you have fried all the shrimp.
  • Serve immediately topped with chives and your dipping sauce of choice on the side.

Notes

*I had this chili crisp syrup on hand so I used that, but sweet thai chili sauce would be my first go to for this 🙂
