Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Frank's
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large egg whites
Heaping 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Heaping 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Heaping 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, finely ground
Vegetable oil, for frying
18 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce: Stir the marmalade, mustard and hot sauce together. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the shrimp: Combine the flour, paprika, Cajun seasoning, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl. Place the egg whites in another shallow bowl and whisk until frothy. Combine the panko, coconut and ground macadamias in a third shallow bowl.
  • Fill a wide, shallow pot with about 1 inch of oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil registers 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a plate with paper towels.
  • Meanwhile, toss the shrimp in the seasoned flour to coat. Working with a few shrimp at a time, shake off the excess flour and dip in the egg whites to coat.
  • Let the excess egg white drip off, then toss in the coconut mixture, pressing with your fingertips to get as much coating to adhere as possible.
  • Add half of the shrimp to the oil and fry until golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side; transfer to the lined plate to drain. Return the oil to 350 degrees F and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  • Arrange the shrimp and dipping sauce on a serving platter and serve warm.

Provided by bottlegreen

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

20 large shell on fresh prawns
2 tbsps plain flour
1 egg
6 tbsps desiccated coconut
6 tbsps fresh breadcrumbs
8 tbsps bottlegreen lime and coconut cordial
1 large red chilli
2 tbsps rice wine vinegar
Oil for frying

Steps:

  • Remove the shell from the prawns keeping the tail on, prepare 3 bowls, one with the flour in, one with the beaten egg and one with the coconut and breadcrumbs mixed together. Dip the prawns first in the flour, then the beaten egg and finally toss in the coconut mix until evenly coated.
  • To make the dipping sauce, place the cordial, chilli and rice wine vinegar in a small saucepan, bring to the boil, simmer until reduced a little and syrupy.
  • Heat the oil in a pan, cook the prawns until golden for approx. 5 mins, turning half way if shallow frying, drain on kitchen paper.
  • Serve the prawns with the lime and coconut dipping sauce

Tips:

  • Use fresh and large prawns. This will ensure that the prawns are juicy and flavorful.
  • Do not overcook the prawns. Overcooked prawns will become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are pink and opaque.
  • Use a good quality coconut chutney. A good chutney will add a lot of flavor to the dish. You can make your own chutney using the recipe in the article, or you can buy a good quality chutney from the store.
  • Serve the prawns immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Macadamia-crusted prawns with coconut chutney is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The prawns are crispy and flavorful, and the coconut chutney adds a refreshing and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
