Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Canola or safflower oil, for frying
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt, eyeball it in palm of hand
2 pinches ground cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder, available on spice aisle
1 lime
1 cup shredded coconut
2 egg whites
1 pound large fantail shrimp, deveined and peeled -- ask for easy peels at fish counter

Steps:

  • Heat 2 inches oil over medium high heat. A cube of bread should brown in a 10 count when oil is ready.
  • Season bread crumbs with salt, cayenne pepper and five-spice powder. Cut the lime into wedges and reserve.
  • Toss coconut with seasoned bread crumbs to combine. Lightly beat the egg whites. Dip shrimp in the egg whites, then coat with the coconut breading. Fry shrimp 5 minutes in hot oil until evenly golden and crispy. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.
  • TIMING: To serve all of the courses together, a mix-n-match, family-style presentation, you can bread the shrimp and wait to heat oil and fry when you are ready to put the chicken stir-fry in the pan. Or, for separate courses, serve the shrimp with the salad, have your rice cooking and your ingredients prepped for the stir-fry, then stir-fry the chicken only when guests are ready for it.

These coconut shrimp were a bit bland. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I made these shrimp with a breadcrumb coating instead. They were still delicious!

These coconut shrimp were a disappointment. The coating was soggy and the shrimp were overcooked.
