Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

Shrimp:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 egg

  • 1 teaspoon water

  • 1 cup coconut milk

  • 1 cup coconut flakes

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left intact

  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Sauce:

  • ½ cup orange marmalade

  • 1 teaspoon horseradish

Directions

  1. Place flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk egg and water together in a separate bowl. Pour coconut milk in a third bowl. Place coconut flakes in a fourth bowl.

  2. Hold a shrimp by the tail and coat in flour well, making sure to leave tail clean. Dip in egg coating; return to flour and cover again. Dip in coconut milk; roll in coconut flakes. Place on a sheet of wax paper or a plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until a drop of water crackles when dripped into in the pan. Place shrimp in skillet in batches if needed, with small space between each. Fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate covered with napkins to drain excess oil.

  4. Combine orange marmalade and horseradish together in a bowl for sauce. Adjust ratio to taste. Serve as a dip with the shrimp.
