Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails on
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp by patting them dry with paper towels. Season the flour with salt and black pepper, then dredge each shrimp in the flour.
  2. Create the coating by dipping the floured shrimp into the beaten eggs, then rolling them in a mixture of shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Fry the shrimp in heated vegetable oil over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  4. Make the pineapple sauce by combining pineapple juice, crushed pineapple, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the cornstarch slurry until thickened.
  5. Serve the crispy coconut shrimp on a platter with the pineapple sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Ensure shrimp are dry before dredging for better coating adherence. Do not overcrowd the pan while frying.
