Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons Scotch bonnet pepper (any color), seeded and minced
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon dark rum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the sauce, combine the Scotch bonnet pepper, lime juice, honey, rum, salt, and oil in a serving bowl. Set aside.
  • Rinse the shrimp in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, beat together the egg whites, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Spread the coconut out on a plate. Coat each shrimp with the egg white mixture and roll in coconut.
  • Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large skillet over high heat until it is very hot. Add half of the shrimp to the oil in a single layer. Fry until golden brown, for 1 1/2 minutes. Turn each one over and cook 2 more minutes. Remove to drain on paper towels. Using the remaining 1/4 cup of oil, repeat the process until all of the shrimp is cooked. Serve the shrimp immediately with the dipping sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I decided to give this recipe a try and I'm so glad I did! The shrimp were so flavorful and the coconut coating was not overpowering. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the shrimp turned out great! I used a different type of breadcrumb than the recipe called for and they were still very good.

This recipe was easy to follow and the shrimp turned out great! I used panko breadcrumbs instead of coconut flakes and they were still very good.
