Slam Dunk Butterflied Coconut Shrimp image

I created this recipe when I started making coconut shrimp. I wanted more coconut flavor, so I butterflied the shrimp to give them more surface to hold the coconut. They are best served with the Slam Dunk Coconut Shrimp Dipping Sauce from this site.

24 large shrimp
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk

  • Dredge shrimp in flour, then dip in egg mixture; repeat once more. Gently roll coated shrimp in coconut, pressing in to coat.
