Coconut Shrimp instructions
- Wash and de-vein the shrimp and set aside, this does require patience and time, so having the TV on, or talking to someone f2f and not the phone (unless handsfree) helps.
- The next and almost final step is the batter.
- I left the tails on for the look :).
- Mix some salt into the breadcrumbs.
- Dip each shrimp in the butter milk and then coat it with the crumbs, and then do a quick dip into the buttermilk, don't dip it too much cause you will loose the crumbs sticking to it, and then evenly coat the shrimp with the coconut flakes.
- I pressed the flakes on to the shrimp, so I got a thick coating of flakes.
- Heat some oil in a wok or fy pan, and deep fry the shrimps on medium low flame.
- If it's too high it will quickly burn the flakes, and you don't want that.
- So on medium heat, cook the shrimp, so it evenly cooks on the inside and the coating gets a nice golden brown.
- I had to change the oil twice because I was frying about a kilo in this particular situation, so if you are making a large batch, make sure you have a lot of oil.
- Drain on paper towels and serve hot with some marinara sauce or thousand island dressing as a dipping sauce.
- I made this an hour before the event, so I placed them in a warm oven for a few mins prior serving and it was just fine.
