Coconut Shrimp


  • 1lb Cooked and Deveined Shrimp (Any size works, I like to use the smallest ones as they generally come with tails removed, but for events I will use the large ones)
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes (Its hard to find unsweetened.  If sweetened is all you can find you can spread it out on a sieve and rinse it, squeeze the heck out of it, do this over and over til the water runs clear.  Then let it dry out on the sieve.
  • Spice it how you like.  I use Cayenne pepper and garlic powder
  • 1 Beaten Egg
  • Coconut oil


First lay out the shrimp so they dry while you blend the coconut flakes to make them extra fine.  Put your chosen spices with the coconut flakes.  Dip the shrimp in the egg and then roll in the coconut flakes quickly so you do not pick up too much crust.  Heat your frying pan with coconut oil.  A little bit goes a long way.  Keep the pan wet and fry the shrimp until they are golden brown on both sides.
As far as dipping sauces go I use a Pineapple and Habanero salsa and drizzle it over my serving. 

Family loves this one!
