Tips:

  • Use large shrimp for a more impressive presentation.
  • Make sure the shrimp are dry before coating them in the coconut mixture. This will help the coating to adhere better.
  • Press the coconut mixture firmly onto the shrimp. This will help to ensure that the coating stays on during frying.
  • Heat the oil to the proper temperature before frying the shrimp. This will help to prevent the shrimp from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause the shrimp to steam instead of fry.
  • Fry the shrimp in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain the shrimp on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
