Yield About 20 shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 13

Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 large egg whites
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups flaked coconut
1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled with tails on
Red Curry Sauce, recipe follows
1 green onion, white and green part, chopped
1 handful fresh mint, hand-torn
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Heat 3 inches of oil in a large deep skillet or heavy pot to 325 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, egg whites, salt, and pepper until foamy. Spread the coconut out in a pie dish. Dredge the shrimp with the cornstarch/egg white mixture and shake off any excess. Press the shrimp into the coconut flakes; turn shrimp over and press into coconut again to coat both sides.
  • Deep-fry the shrimp in batches until the coconut is golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp to paper towels to drain. Arrange the shrimp on a platter, serve immediately with red curry sauce and garnish with green onion and mint.
  • Place a small pot over medium heat and coat with the oil. Stir the red curry paste into the pan and fry that up until aromatic. Slowly pour in the coconut milk and continue to stir to incorporate. Add the lime juice (and 1 of the squeezed out halves for added flavor) and cook for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken. Pour the sauce into a nice serving bowl and serve with the coconut shrimp.
  • Yield: 1 cup

This was the worst coconut shrimp I've ever had. The shrimp were rubbery, and the sauce was watery and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this dish was just okay. The shrimp were a little bland, and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't make this again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was very flavorful. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who likes spicy food.

The shrimp were a little overcooked, but the sauce was amazing! I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.
