Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb large shrimp (21-25 count, peeled and deveined with tails left on)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs (beaten with a fork)
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut (*)
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
light olive oil (or vegetable oil or coconut oil)
1 lime (cut into wedges, to serve)
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1/4 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 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt. In the second, beat 2 eggs with a fork. In the third, combine 1 1/2 cups coconut flakes and 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs.
  • Dredge shrimp in flour, then dip in beaten egg and finally dip in crumb mixture using your hands to press the coconut crumb mixture onto your shrimp. Transfer to a platter and repeat with remaining shrimp. Once all shrimp are breaded, either sauté right away or refrigerate for later.
  • To sautee: place a large pan over medium heat and add enough oil to generously cover the bottom (1/4" deep). Once oil is hot (350˚F), add shrimp and sauté 2 minutes per side until golden brown and shrimp is pink and cooked through. Cook in batches and don't overcrowd the pan.
  • Stir together 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce with 1/4 cup apricot preserves. Serve shrimp with dipping sauce and squeeze fresh lime juice over finished shrimp before serving if desired.
