Coconut shrimps with honey-chilli sauce

Coconut shrimp with honey-chilli sauce offers a delightful blend of sweet and spicy flavors that make for a perfect appetizer or main dish. The crispy coconut coating on the shrimp pairs excellently with the rich and tangy honey-chilli sauce, creating a mouthwatering combination that's sure to impress.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup bread crumbs
90g
1 cup coconut meat
150g
32 oz shrimps
910g
1/2 cup honey
120g
1 tbsp lemon juice
5g
2 tsp soy sauce
10g
1 tsp ginger root
5g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g

Instructions:

2. Prepare Coating Stations:
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl.
- Beat the eggs in another bowl until smooth.
- Combine bread crumbs and shredded coconut in a third bowl.
3. Coat the Shrimps:
- Pat the shrimps dry with a paper towel.
- Dredge each shrimp first in the flour, coating it lightly. Shake off any excess.
- Dip the floured shrimp into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Finally, roll the shrimp in the coconut and bread crumbs mixture until well covered.
4. Bake the Shrimps (or Fry):
- Place the coated shrimps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the shrimps are golden brown and crisp. Turn the shrimps halfway through the baking time for even coloring and crispiness.
- (Optional Frying): If frying, carefully place the coated shrimps in hot oil and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Blend Well:
- Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Adjust the sweetness or spiciness according to your taste by adding more honey or chili peppers if necessary.
8. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Coconut Shrimps with Honey-Chilli Sauce hot and crispy!

Tips:

- Make sure the shrimp are thoroughly dried before coating them to ensure the breading sticks well.

- Use fresh ingredients for the sauce to enhance its flavor, especially the ginger root and red hot chili peppers.

- If you prefer a milder sauce, you can deseed the red hot chili peppers before adding them to the mixture.

- To make the shrimp extra crispy, consider double-dipping: dip in flour, then egg, then flour again before the final coat of bread crumbs and coconut.

- Serve the shrimp immediately after frying to enjoy their maximum crispiness.

Enjoy your delicious coconut shrimp with honey-chilli sauce! This dish is perfect for gatherings or a special meal at home. The combination of textures and flavors will leave everyone wanting more. Pair it with a side of steamed rice or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
