Cashew and Coconut Shrimp image

This is a spin on a recipe I created for my cooking show, Patricia Heaton Parties. I love the combination of hot, juicy shrimp with a crispy coating and a zingy dipping sauce. Delish.

Yield Makes 18 shrimp, for 4 to 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup mango peach jam
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
3/4 cup raw cashews
3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
3/4 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound large shrimp (this will be about 18), shelled and deveined
Canola oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Combine the jam, vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Place the cashews in a food processor and pulse to break them up a bit. Add the bread crumbs and coconut and pulse a few times just to combine.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat.
  • In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, heat 1/4 inch canola oil until shimmering.
  • Take a shrimp from the flour, shake off any excess, and dip it in the egg. Shake off any excess egg and dip the shrimp in the cashew mixture. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  • Fry the shrimp in the oil, turning once, until golden, and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Drain cooked shrimp on a wire rack.
  • Arrange cooked shrimp on a platter with the dipping sauce; serve immediately.

I served this dish over rice, but I think it would also be good served over noodles or vegetables.

I didn't have any cashews on hand, so I used peanuts instead. They worked just as well.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I was able to easily adjust it by adding a little bit of lime juice.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut, but this dish changed my mind. The coconut flavor was subtle and complemented the other flavors perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the results were amazing. The shrimp were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was so flavorful.

This cashew and coconut shrimp dish was an absolute delight! The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the sauce was a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy.
