Ingredients

2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
2 cups bread crumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, beaten
24 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetable oil, for frying

Dipping Sauce:

1/2 cup orange marmalade
1 to 2 tablespoons dark rum

Directions

In a large bowl, combine coconut and bread crumbs and season with salt and pepper. Place flour, eggs, and bread crumb mixture into 3 separate bowls. Dredge the shrimp in flour and shake off excess. Next, dip the shrimp thoroughly in the egg and rub against the side of the bowl to lightly remove excess. Finally, coat the shrimp thoroughly with the bread crumb mixture. Lay out the shrimp so they do not touch on a parchment-lined baking sheet or platter until ready to fry. In a large Dutch oven, heat several inches of oil to 350 degrees F. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Be careful not to overcrowd shrimp in the oil while frying. Drain on paper towels.

For the Dipping Sauce: heat the marmalade in a small saucepan over low heat. Thin with rum as desired.

THE BEST EVER
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the best coconut shrimp I have EVER had. Better than any resturant and Ive had it at many locations. I made a... orange/jalapeno jelly to go with it and was killer. This was so simple I couldnt believe it. Thanks so much, my family and I will enjoy this many years to come!!!Read more

Even my 3 year old ate it!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved this and so did my husband! I just couldn't believe my 3 year old liked it or even tried it because she is so picky!... I did add some panko breadcrumbs to the mix and a little Old Bay seasoning. I also had some bay scallops left over in the freezer so I made them along with the shrimp and they were also very good!Read more
