Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, raw shrimp that are medium-sized.
  • To make the coconut coating adhere better to the shrimp, pat them dry with paper towels before dipping them in the egg mixture and then the coconut mixture.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause them to steam instead of fry and they won't be as crispy.
  • The dipping sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Conclusion:

Coconut shrimp lollipops with apricot ginger dipping sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for parties or potlucks. The shrimp are crispy and flavorful, and the dipping sauce is sweet and tangy. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
