Coconut Shrimp is sweet and savory, made with battered shrimp that's rolled in tender coconut flakes, then deep fried to perfection and dipped in sweet and sour sauce, ready in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients

2 cups flaked coconut
1 large egg
3/4 cup flour (, divided)
2/3 cup club soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
24 shrimp
24 wooden skewers
3 cups oil for frying
Sweet and Sour Sauce (, for dipping)

Steps

Add the coconut to a food processor and pulse ten times then place it in a shallow bowl.

In tall cup, whisk together the egg, 1/2 cup flour, club soda and baking powder and put the remaining flour in a second shallow bowl.

Skewer the shrimp onto the skewers leaving the top 1" of shrimp unskewered then roll in the flour, dip in the batter (let excess drip off) and roll in the coconut before placing on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Place the shrimp in the freezer for 20 minutes then heat up a dutch oven with 3" of oil to 350 degrees and fry the shrimp for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
