Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tbsp Lime zest
- 1 cup Coconut flakes (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 Ripe mango (peeled and diced)
- 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1 Jalapeno pepper (seeded and chopped)
- 1.5 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
Instructions
Clean and dry the shrimp with paper towels. Set aside.
Prepare the breading stations: In the first bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with salt and black pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, combine the coconut flakes, panko breadcrumbs, and lime zest.
Dip each shrimp first in the seasoned flour, then coat it in the egg mixture, and finally press it into the coconut-panko mixture, ensuring even coverage. Set the breaded shrimp onto a plate or baking sheet.
In a large skillet or deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to approximately 350°F (175°C).
Fry the shrimp in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
To make the dipping sauce, combine mango, lime juice, jalapeno, honey, and soy sauce in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Adjust sweetness or spice level to your taste by adding more honey or jalapeno.
Serve the crispy shrimp hot with the mango jalapeno dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with lime wedges if desired.
