Coconut Shrimp With Creamy Dipping Sauce Recipes

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH CREAMY CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper in a wide, shallow bowl. Lightly beat the eggs with a splash of water in a second wide, shallow bowl. Combine the coconut and pork rind breadcrumbs in a third wide, shallow bowl.
• Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper.
• Toss the shrimp in the flour mixture to coat them, working one a time. Shake off the excess flour and dip it into the egg wash. Let the excess egg drip off, and then toss the shrimp in the coconut-panko mixture until thoroughly coated. Put the shrimp on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot and a piece of shredded coconut dropped into it sizzles immediately. Add about half of the shrimp, making sure the skillet is not too crowded, and pan-fry, turning once, until the shrimp are cooked through and golden brown all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Combine the Asian chili sauce with the mayonnaise in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Squeeze half of a lemon over the hot shrimp and serve with the dipping sauce and lemon wedges on the side.

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH 2-INGREDIENT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse shrimp in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Set up 3 shallow bowls. In the first, stir together 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt. In the second, beat 2 eggs with a fork. In the third, combine 1 1/2 cups coconut flakes and 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs.
• Dredge shrimp in flour, then dip in beaten egg and finally dip in crumb mixture using your hands to press the coconut crumb mixture onto your shrimp. Transfer to a platter and repeat with remaining shrimp. Once all shrimp are breaded, either sauté right away or refrigerate for later.
• To sautee: place a large pan over medium heat and add enough oil to generously cover the bottom (1/4" deep). Once oil is hot (350˚F), add shrimp and sauté 2 minutes per side until golden brown and shrimp is pink and cooked through. Cook in batches and don't overcrowd the pan.
• Stir together 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce with 1/4 cup apricot preserves. Serve shrimp with dipping sauce and squeeze fresh lime juice over finished shrimp before serving if desired.
