Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by placing the deveined jumbo shrimp in a large Ziploc bag. Add all-purpose flour, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Seal the bag and shake it vigorously until each shrimp is well coated.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the large eggs and coconut milk until smooth. Set it aside.
- In another bowl, combine sweetened flaked coconut with panko breadcrumbs. Stir well to ensure an even mix.
- Take each floured shrimp and dip it into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off before dredging in the coconut-panko mixture.
- Arrange the coated shrimp on a wax paper-lined pan and place them in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
- In a heavy Dutch oven, heat the peanut or vegetable oil to 350°F. Carefully add the frozen shrimp, frying for about 2 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer each Coconut Shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up any excess oil.
- Enjoy your Coconut Shrimp immediately while they're still hot and crispy, ideally paired with a sweet chili dipping sauce.

Notes
