Instructions
Set up three shallow bowls: flour seasoned with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and coconut mixed with panko.
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.
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.
Serve immediately with Thai sweet chili sauce for dipping and lime wedges on the side.
