Ingredients

  • tablespoons chili sauce sweet
  • teaspoon chili-garlic hot sauce 
  • pound tail-on shrimp shelled
  • 0.5 cup all purpose flour 
  •  eggs 
  • tablespoons coconut milk (or regular milk)
  • servings salt and pepper 
  • 0.5 cup japanese panko bread crumbs 
  • 0.5 cup coconut flakes sweetened
  • servings oil for frying

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • knife
  • whisk
  • kitchen thermometer

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce and the chili-garlic hot sauce (optional). Set aside.
  2. With a paring knife, slice down deep at the middle of the back of the shrimp, but do not cut all the way through. Discard the black vein/tract.
  3. Set three shallow bowls side by side.
  4. Place flour in the first bowl; whisk the egg and coconut milk in the second; and combine the panko and coconut flakes in the third.
  5. Heat 2 inches of oil in a sauté pan over moderate heat until thermometer registers 350°F.
  6. As the oil is heating, bread the shrimp by dipping the shrimp on both sides in the flour and shaking excess off. Next dip in the egg/coconut milk mixture and then in the panko/coconut flakes, patting to ensure the coating sticks well.
  7. Fry the shrimp in small batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  8. Serve with Sweet Chili Mayo for dipping.
