Seafood Coconut Shrimp
Ingredients
1/4 cup flour
2 large eggs (or 1/2 cup egg substitute)
1 tablespoon water
2 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1 cup shredded coconut
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 lb jumbo peeled/deveined shrimp (thawed, if needed)
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup pineapple preserves
1/4 cup pineapple/apricot horseradish sauce
Steps
- Place flour on plate (can be paper). Combine eggs and water in shallow bowl; combine panko, coconut, salt, and allspice, in second shallow bowl.
- Dip each shrimp in flour (coating both sides); shake off any excess. Dip into egg mixture (allowing excess to drip off). Finally, dip into coconut mixture. When most of shrimp have been coated, preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Wash hands.
- Place oil in pan. Add one-half of the shrimp to pan (wash hands); cook 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels; then repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Combine remaining ingredients in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1–2 minutes, stirring once, or until melted. Stir sauce and serve with shrimp.
Traditional Fried Shrimp:
Omit the coconut, kosher salt, and allspice; instead, add 1 (more) cup panko, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano to panko mixture.
