Directions
-
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, sea salt, and coarse black pepper. This mixture creates a tremendous base flavor that enhances the shrimp.
-
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until frothy. This step is essential for the shrimp to adhere properly to the coating.
-
In a third bowl, mix the panko bread crumbs and shredded coconut together. The combination of these two will create a wonderful textured crust.
-
Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, making sure it is coat evenly. Then, transfer it to the egg whites, ensuring the shrimp is fully covered before finally coating it with the coconut mixture. This three-step process is what gives the shrimp its tremendous crunch.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by testing it with a small piece of shrimp; if it sizzles, you’re ready to go.
-
Fry the shrimp in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. The sizzling sounds and aromatic scents will make your kitchen feel delightful.
-
Once fried, remove the shrimp and let them drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot to enjoy the tremendous crunch and flavor.
