Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Chili Orange Sesame Dipping Sauce

Ingredients

Ingredients For The Coconut Shrimp

18-20 Extra Jumbo Shrimp (I used 2 lb bag of raw frozen shrimp)
1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
1 1/4 Cup Sweetened Shredded Coconut 
1 Cup Flour
Salt and Pepper
2 Eggs Beaten
Vegetable oil for frying shrimp or coconut oil (enough to coat bottom of large pan)

Wozz! Sweet Chili Orange Sesame Dipping Sauce

Prepare Your Shrimp

If using frozen shrimp, run under cold water to thaw.  

Prepare your shrimp by removing shell but leave the tails on.  De-vein your shrimp if you need to (the frozen ones I used were already de-veined). Pat dry and season with a little pinch of salt and place on plate.

Prepare Your Dredging Station For Your Shrimp - start with 3 medium sized bowls

In the first bowl add your flour and season with salt and pepper
In the second bowl beat your eggs
In the third bowl combine your panko and sweetened coconut

Fry Your Coconut Shrimp

In a large skillet on medium heat, coat bottom of pan with oil, enough to have about 1/4 inch layer in bottom of skillet.  Add your shrimp and cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.  Remove the finished shrimp from oil and place on a plate or baking tray lined with paper towels until ready to serve. 

Serve:

Add the coconut shrimp to a serving platter with a bowl of Wozz! Sweet Chili Orange Sesame Sauce for dipping.  You can also garnish with fresh cucumber and salad greens.

Enjoy!
