It takes minutes to prepare and is perfect as an appetizer or pair with a salad for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coconut is one of my very favorite things.  Coconut pie and cake are two of my favorite desserts.  And if there&#8217;s coconut ice cream on the menu &#8211; that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m getting.   I feel like coconut shrimp is one of those &#8220;quintessential summer foods&#8221;.  It reminds me of eating at seafood restaurants on the beach.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I thought this would be a difficult thing to make for some reason.  But I decided to try it anyway.  Guess what?  It&#8217;s not hard at all and it seriously only takes a few minutes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1 pound peeled and deveined large or jumbo shrimp ( I recommend tail on to make it easier to pick up if you are using this as an appetizer.<\/li><li>About a cup of flour<\/li><li>1 t salt<\/li><li>1\/2 t pepper<\/li><li>1 t garlic powder<\/li><li>1 c panko breadcrumbs<\/li><li>3\/4-1 c sweetened coconut flakes<\/li><li>2 eggs<\/li><li>Oil for frying (canola, vegetable, or coconut)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>First,  get three pie pans (or bowls can work).  Put the flour and seasonings into the first one and whisk it all together.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, whisk the two eggs together in the second.  Finally, mix the panko breadcrumbs and coconut flakes together in the third.  It&#8217;s important that you use panko breadcrumbs because they make for a much crispier shrimp.  Also, it&#8217;s important to use sweetened coconut flakes because you want the sweet\/savory situation and it won&#8217;t really have that with unsweetened flakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dredge the shrimp in the flour, then eggs, then breadcrumbs.  Make sure you push as much breadcrumb coating onto each piece as you can.  Place the shrimp on a plate until you are ready to fry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you are ready!  Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. I recommend about 1\/4 cup of oil.  There needs to be enough to cover the bottom of your pan.  Give the oil time to get hot and then start adding the shrimp.  Don&#8217;t crowd the pan &#8211; this may take two or three batches to get it all fried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shrimp cooks really fast, so all you need is about 2 minutes on one side, then flip and another 2-3 minutes on the other side.  Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serve it hot with whatever you&#8217;d like to dip it in.  I like to use sweet chili sauce, but you could use cocktail sauce or whatever you like.  This is a delicious appetizer, but add a salad or veggies to make it an incredible meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mamapalma.com\/?p=734\"
