Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
