Coconut-Crusted Shrimp with Pineapple-Chili Sauce Recipe:

Ingredients:For the coconut-crusted shrimp:

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
For the pineapple-chili sauce:

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Pinch of salt
Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing the pineapple-chili sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the pineapple chunks, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Next, prepare the coconut-crusted shrimp. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  3. In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it in the coconut-panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  7. Serve the coconut-crusted shrimp hot with the pineapple-chili sauce on the side for dipping.
  8. Enjoy these irresistible Coconut-Crusted Shrimp with Pineapple-Chili Sauce as an appetizer or main course!
