Tips:

For a crispy coating, make sure the shrimp are completely coated in the coconut mixture before frying.
Fry the shrimp in small batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the shrimp will not cook properly.
Use a deep fryer or a large pot with high sides to fry the shrimp. This will help prevent splattering.
Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
