Coconut Shrimp with Pina Colada Sauce

What you will need:

Panko Breadcrumbs
Sweatened Shredded Coconut
Flour
Paprika
Cayenne Pepper
Salt & Pepper
Eggs
Water

Method:

Heat oil in a deep-sided pot/pan. Oil should heat to 340°F before frying. Lay out the shrimp, pat dry, and season.

Set up three shallow bowls for the dredging process: one with flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, white pepper, and salt; a second with eggs and water whisked together; and a third with breadcrumbs and shredded coconut.

Dip the shrimp in the flour mixture, then the eggs, then the breadcrumb/coconut mixture. Dip it a second time in the eggs, and again in the breadcrumbs. Then place it in the hot oil to fry.

Let the shrimp fry about 1 minute on each side (2-2 1/2 minutes total). Remove them carefully and place them on a paper towel lined plate while you finish the others.
