Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 120 milliliters Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the shrimp by patting them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with a mixture of shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each shrimp in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the coconut-panko mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating adheres. Place the breaded shrimp on a plate.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, orange zest, honey, and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the orange sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until thickened.
Arrange the fried shrimp on a serving platter. Drizzle with the orange sauce and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, tropical flavors!
