Steps:
- For the mango dipping sauce: Add the mango, BBQ sauce, honey, lime juice and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
- For the shrimp: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the cornstarch, flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Beat the eggs and 1/2 cup water in a second bowl. In a third bowl, combine the coconut flakes and breadcrumbs.
- Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg wash and finally in the coconut breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating.
- Fry the shrimp in the oil in batches of 8 to 12 until golden and crispy, approximately 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Arrange on a platter and serve immediately alongside the dipping sauce. Garnish with lime wedges.
SHRIMP WITH COCONUT MILK SAUCE
Easy, healthy, yummy seafood recipe. I grew up eating a lot of seafood cooked in a many different ways. Cooking them with coconut is a favorite savory treat. You can make this as spicy as you want by adding green peppers like anaheim or jalapeno peppers. You can omit the vegetables or add more that you like. The coconut milk and seasonings are strong enough flavor to carry this dish. If I am feeling lazy, I even skip the saute step.
