Coconut shrimp is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. Sweet. Crunchy. Dippable. The kind of appetizer that disappears before it hits the table. And honestly? They’re stupidly easy to make at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No deep fryer required. Just dredge, coat, bake (or fry), and watch people lose their minds. That orange marmalade dipping sauce? Mandatory. Let’s go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Serves 4 as an appetizer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd cup (65g) all-purpose flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bd teaspoon salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 large eggs, beaten<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 cup (80g) panko breadcrumbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 cup (80g) sweetened shredded coconut<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cooking spray or oil for frying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
For the Dipping Sauce:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\u00bd cup (160g) orange marmalade<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 tablespoons soy sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon rice vinegar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Prep Your Stations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) if baking. Line a baking sheet with parchment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Set up three bowls: (1) flour + salt + pepper, (2) beaten eggs, (3) panko + coconut mixed together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Dredge and Coat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Pat shrimp dry. Dip each shrimp into flour, then egg, then coconut-panko mixture. Press gently so it sticks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Place on baking sheet. Repeat with all shrimp.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Cook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Baking:<\/strong> Spray shrimp with cooking spray. Bake 10-12 minutes, flip halfway, until golden and crispy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Frying:<\/strong> Heat 1 inch of oil in a pan to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Fry shrimp 1-2 minutes per side until golden.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Make the Sauce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Whisk marmalade, soy sauce, sriracha, and vinegar in a small bowl.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Serve hot with sauce on the side. Watch them vanish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Prep Time:<\/strong> 15 mins | Cook Time:<\/strong> 10-12 mins | Total Time:<\/strong> 25 mins<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coconut shrimp is best eaten fresh. Leftovers get soggy. If you must, reheat in an air fryer at 375\u00b0F for 3-4 minutes or in the oven. Never microwave\u2014rubber shrimp is sadness. Make extra sauce. It’s good on everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
