• Rinse and dry shrimp with paper towels. Mix cornstarch, salt, and cayenne pepper in a shallow bow; pour coconut flakes in a separate shallow bowl. Working with one shrimp at a time, dredge it in the cornstarch mixture, then dip it in the egg white, and roll it in the coconut, making sure to coat the shrimp well. Place on the prepared baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Bake the shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center and the coconut is browned, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through.

EASY COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Start with 3 medium bowls. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in one. Beat the eggs in the second bowl. Combine Panko and coconut in the third bowl.
• Dip the shrimp into the flour, then the eggs, and then dredge the shrimp into the coconut mixture, pressing gently to adhere. You want a lot of coconut on each shrimp. Set the coated shrimp aside on a plate as you coat the remaining shrimp.
• Add enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the coconut shrimp in batches such as 7-8 shrimp at a time- do not crowd them in the pan. Flip after 2 minutes and fry the other side for 2 minutes or until golden brown. We prefer ours a little darker, so I fry each side for about 2:30-3 minutes.
• Place the finished coconut shrimp on a plate lined with a paper towel as you fry the rest. Sprinkle with finely chopped cilantro. Mix dipping sauce ingredients together and serve with shrimp.
• Cover and store leftover shrimp in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Prepare 3 bowls for breading. Place flour in the first bowl with a pinch each of kosher salt and black pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together eggs and water. In the third bowl, combine panko and coconut with 1/2 teaspoon each kosher salt and black pepper.
• Pat shrimp with paper towels to remove excess moisture. One at a time, dredge shrimp in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into egg wash, allowing excess to drip off. Dip in coconut-panko mixture, gently pressing to adhere.
• Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed, deep pot to 325 to 350 degrees F. Fry shrimp in batches of 5-6, being sure not to crowd the pot, until the breading is golden and the shrimp are opaque, 3-4 minutes. Use a spider strainer to gently move the shrimp around in the oil for even browning.
• Remove shrimp from the oil with the spider strainer and place them on a double layer of paper towels set on a plate or baking sheet to drain.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F with rack in the lower-middle position.
• Place shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet. Spray both sides with vegetable oil spray (I use an oil spray bottle.)
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until breading is light golden and shrimp are opaque, turning the shrimp over once halfway through baking.
• Spray shrimp on both sides with vegetable oil spray, as in the baking method. Add shrimp to the air-fryer basket (I like to cook them in batches of 6-7) and fry at 400 degrees F for 6-8 minutes, until breading is golden and shrimp are opaque. Flip shrimp over once during air frying.
• Place Coconut Shrimp on a serving platter and garnish with sliced scallions or chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Bring the mixture to a boil then simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the rice to the coconut milk mixture and stir. Then leave the rice to cook for 15-20 minutes or until nealry done. Check the rice every 7-10 minutes and add more water if necessary.
• While the rice cooks prepare the shrimp and veggies. Season shrimp with salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Then, heat a splash of coconut oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot add the shrimp and cook on both sides for 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside for later.
• Next, add more coconut oil to the same pan and once the oil is hot add onions and cook for a few minutes. Next add the mixed veggies, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for 5-7 minutes. Once the veggies are ready set them aside for later.
