AMAZING COCONUT SHRIMP BEIGNETS WITH PEPPER JELLY SAUCE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Amazing Coconut Shrimp Beignets with Pepper Jelly Sauce Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-175897

Number Of Ingredients 15

SAUCE:
Canola oil or other neutral vegetable oil, for deep frying
1 cup pepper jelly, such as Tabasco
2 tablespoons Creole mustard or any country-style whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar (apple cider vinegar is a good substitute)
BATTER:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sweetened coconut, shredded
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup very thinly sliced green onions, white and green parts
1 (12-ounce) bottle amber beer, such as Abita
Water (if needed)
1 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Fill a heavy, deep saucepan with at least 6 inches of oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it registers 340°F on a deep-fry thermometer. SAUCE: Combine the jelly, mustard, and vinegar; whisk until smooth and chill until needed (this can be made 1 day in advance). BATTER: In a large bowl, combine the flour, coconut, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and green onions. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly and make a well in the center. Slowly pour the beer into the well, whisking from the inside to the outside until the mixture has the consistency of pancake batter. If it's not, thin it with a touch of water. Line a plate with paper towels and have ready. Fold the shrimp into the batter. Using 2 tablespoons, carefully scoop one batter-coated shrimp into one spoon, and with the other spoon, push the mixture into the hot oil (be careful not to splash the oil). For best results, fry no more than four beignets at a time. Using a slotted spoon, turn the beignets to cook 1 minute per side, until puffy and light brown all over. With a slotted spoon, remove the beignets from the oil and let drain on the prepared plate. To serve, season with salt and accompany with the sauce.

1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 egg whites

  • Bring sauce to room temperature and serve with coconut shrimp.

COCONUT SHRIMP



Coconut Shrimp image

No one really knows the origins of fried coconut shrimp, the crunchy, breaded kind that's served in chain steakhouses and beachfront restaurants, but its roots are likely found in the tiki bar culture, which was all the rage in the United States after World War II, when access to tropical produce like coconuts and pineapples became an everyday thing. Using egg whites instead of whole eggs and cornstarch instead of flour yields shrimp that are simultaneously crunchy yet light, and go just as well with piña coladas as they do with Champagne. We paired ours with a simple spicy-sweet dip made with marmalade, Dijon mustard and Sriracha, but you can also serve them with store-bought sweet chile sauce.

Categories     easy, quick, snack, weeknight, seafood, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield About 24 shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup orange marmalade or apricot preserves
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Sriracha or other chile sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, plus more as needed
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon fresh lime zest (from 2 to 3 limes)
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne (optional)
4 large egg whites
1 cup finely shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound large raw shrimp (21 to 25 count), peeled and deveined, with tails attached
4 to 5 tablespoons coconut or canola oil, for frying, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Make the dip: In a small bowl, combine marmalade, mustard, Sriracha (if using), lime juice and salt. Stir until fully incorporated. If it's too thick, add a touch more lime juice.
  • Make the shrimp: Place the cornstarch, lime zest, salt and cayenne (if using) in a shallow bowl. Whisk the egg whites in another bowl until frothy. Toss the coconut and panko in another shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Working with one shrimp at a time, holding it by its tail, coat the shrimp (but not the tail) in the cornstarch mixture then shake off excess. Dip in the egg whites, then shake off excess. Dredge in coconut-panko mixture, pressing to coat. Set aside on a large plate. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  • Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet in a thin layer. Heat over medium until oil shimmers. (A pinch of the coconut-panko mixture added to the oil should sizzle and brown easily. If the oil isn't hot enough, the shrimp will stick to the pan.) Working in batches if necessary, add shrimp in a single, even layer (do not crowd the pan), and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary if the shrimp is browning too quickly.
  • Using tongs, grab the shrimp by the tail (so as not to disturb the crust) and flip over. Cook until golden brown underneath, about 2 minutes more. Remove the shrimp by the tail from the pan to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the rest of the shrimp, adding additional oil as needed.
  • Serve immediately with dip.

GRILLED COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SHISHITO PEPPERS



Grilled Coconut Shrimp With Shishito Peppers image

Soy sauce, lime, and plenty of grated garlic create a marinade that adds tons of flavor in as little as five minutes while helping the shredded coconut adhere to the shrimp.

Provided by Anna Stockwell

Categories     Shrimp     Garlic     Lime     Coconut     Basil     Seafood     Grill     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 Tbsp. finely grated lime zest
¼ cup low-sodium or tamari soy sauce
¼ cup grapeseed or vegetable oil, plus more for grill
1 lb. large shrimp, peeled, deveined, preferably with tails left on
½ cup toasted unsweetened shredded coconut, plus more for serving
8 oz. shishito peppers
½ cup basil leaves
¼ cup fresh lime juice
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Stir together garlic, lime zest, soy sauce, and ¼ cup oil in a medium bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Add ½ cup coconut and toss again to coat. Let sit while grill heats, at least 5 minutes and up to 30 minutes.
  • Prepare a grill for high heat, lightly oil grate.
  • Carefully arrange shrimp in an even layer on grate. Grill, carefully turning halfway through, until opaque and lightly charred, about 2 minutes. Some of the coconut will fall off in the process, and that's okay. Transfer to a serving platter.
  • Grill peppers, turning occasionally and being careful not to let them fall through grate, until lightly charred all over, about 6 minutes. Transfer to platter with shrimp.
  • Top shrimp and peppers with basil, drizzle with lime juice, and sprinkle with sea salt and more coconut.

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Reynolds®

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound large shrimp (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined, tails left on
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup panko bread crumbs
8 tablespoons light olive oil, or any high-heat cooking oil
Reynolds® Parchment Paper
¼ cup sweet chili sauce
¼ cup apricot preserves or apricot fruit spread

Steps:

  • Rinse shrimp in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Set up 3 shallow bowls. In the first, stir together 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In the second, add eggs and lightly beat with a fork. In the third, combine 1 1/2 cups coconut flakes and 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs.
  • Dredge shrimp in flour, dip in beaten egg and then finally dip in coconut crumb mixture using your hands to press the mixture onto the shrimp. Transfer to a Reynolds® Parchment Paper lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining shrimp. Once all of the shrimp are breaded, saute right away.
  • Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to generously cover the bottom. Once oil is hot, add shrimp and saute 2 to 3 minutes, flip and saute another 2 minutes until golden brown on both sides and shrimp is firm and pink. Cook in batches and don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Stir together the sweet chili sauce and apricot preserves and serve with coconut shrimp.

BAKED COCONUT SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE SAUCE
