Instructions

1

Set up three shallow bowls: flour seasoned with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and coconut mixed with panko.

2

Hold each shrimp by the tail. Dredge in flour, dip in egg, then press firmly into the coconut-panko mixture to coat on all sides.

Tip: Press the coconut coating on firmly. A light coating will fall off during frying.

3

Heat vegetable oil to 350F in a deep skillet or Dutch oven. Fry shrimp in batches of 5-6 for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

4

Serve immediately with Thai sweet chili sauce for dipping and lime wedges on the side.
