Coconut-crumbed shrimps with lime aioli is a delightful seafood dish that marries the tropical sweetness of coconut with the tangy zest of lime. This recipe is perfect for a special dinner or a festive gathering, offering a satisfying crunch and a burst of flavor with every bite.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the shrimps under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Set Up Your Breading Station:
- Place the flour in a shallow dish.
- Crack the egg into a bowl, beat it, and set aside.
- In another shallow dish, combine the shredded coconut and bread crumbs.
- Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured shrimp into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Press the shrimp into the coconut and bread crumb mixture, making sure it is well-coated.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil to cover the bottom (about 2-3 tablespoons).
- Once the oil is hot, add the breaded shrimps in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimps are golden brown and the shrimp are opaque through the center.
- Transfer the cooked shrimps to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime zest, and lime juice until well combined.
- Arrange the coconut-crumbed shrimps on a serving platter.
- Serve with the lime aioli on the side for dipping.
Tips:
- Make sure the shrimps are thoroughly dried before coating to ensure the coconut and bread crumbs adhere properly.
- For a lighter option, you can bake the shrimp instead of frying. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- You can customize the aioli by adding a bit of chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
- If you want an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bread crumb mixture.
- Serve the shrimps immediately after frying for maximum crispiness.
Your Coconut-crumbed shrimps with lime aioli are now ready to serve. This dish brings a taste of the tropics to your table and is sure to impress your guests. Enjoy the crispy texture of the shrimp paired with the refreshing lime aioli. Bon appétit!
