Coconut Shrimp

Ingredients:  

• Vegetable oil, for frying

• 1 cup all-purpose flour  
• 1/2 cup corn starch  
• Pinch cayenne  
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper  
• 1 1/2 cups of shredded sweetened coconut  
• 1 lb Tropical Blue Shrimp, peeled and tails removed  
• Sweet chili sauce, for dipping  

Instructions:  

1. Heat about two inches of oil in a heavy bottom pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 F.  

1. Meanwhile, put the eggs in one shallow dish.  Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.  Transfer half the flour mixture to a third bowl and stir in the coconut.  

1. Working in batches, dredge  the shrimp in the flour mixture, shake off any excess, dip in the eggs and then roll in the coconut mixture, pressing to coat thoroughly.  Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature. Transfer the shrimp to paper towels to drain.  Serve with sweet chilli sauce on the side for dipping or mix mayonnaise and a hot sauce of your choice.   

 Barbecued Tropical Blue Shrimp Tails  

Thaw and peel the shrimp leaving tails on, put them on skewers either soaked bamboo or metal, be sure to use gloves or tongs when using metal skewers, they get hot. Grill the shrimp over direct, medium heat for 5-7 minutes, turning the shrimp halfway through the process. The outside of the shrimp should turn a nice pink colour when it is cooked while the meat inside should be white and opaque.  Remove from the skewers and serve with either the dipping sauces from the Coconut Shrimp recipe or Seafood Cocktail sauce.
