Coconut shrimp recipe

I love shrimps and so I make different recipes with shrimps. Our favourite are semolina coated shrimp and golden fried shrimps. But this homemade coconut shrimp was a winner. My daughter cam running to the kitchen and asked what was cooking. She even looked out for the ingredients and loved the mild coconut aroma. The coconut coated shrimps were cleared in few minutes. This is the best ever coconut shrimp recipe I have ever made.

The shrimp recipe is easy to make. Just take cleaned, deveined shrimps, roll it in all-purpose flour, dunk in beaten egg and then roll it in coconut flour and breadcrumbs or panko. I will recommend using panko because it stays crispier for long time.

The best part is that this fried shrimp recipe can be made with ingredients easily available in the kitchen pantry like flour, eggs, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. You might have to get coconut flakes or coconut flour.

What are the ingredients used in making easy coconut shrimp recipe?

  • Shrimps: Use any type of shrimp or prawns to make this recipe. If you use large or jumbo shrimp, you will have to fry it slightly longer.
  • Flour:  Use all purpose flour to first coast the shrimp. Coating in all purpose flour before coating with beaten egg, ensures that beaten egg sticks to the shrimp.
  • Eggs: Use chicken eggs in this recipe for coating the shrimp. After coating the shrimp in beaten eggs mixture, the coconut flakes and breadcrumbs stick well to the shrimps.
  • Seasoning: Salt and pepper is used in this recipe for seasoning. You can add paprika too if you need slightly spicy fried shrimps.
  • Coconut flour: Unsweetened coconut flour or coconut flakes should be used in this recipe.
  • Breadcrumbs: Use breadcrumbs along with coconut flakes to coat the shrimp after coating with egg batter.
  • Oil: Use any type of vegetable oil or canola oil or coconut oil to fry the shrimps. I will recommend coconut oil in this recipe.

You can also try other prawns and shrimp recipes like:

  • Kung pao shrimp
