You'll need at least 1lb of jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined. Next, you'll need a deep fryer or a sturdy, thick-walled pot on the stove deep enough to safely deep fry with, and your favorite oil for frying. Next, gather the following ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 large egg whites lightly beaten
- 1 and 1/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 12 oz jar of pineapple preserves
- One tablespoon of nonalcoholic (or alcohol included, you do you) frozen pina colada mix, thawed
First, heat oil to 375 Fahrenheit. Next, take your deveined and peeled jumbo shrimp and cover each lightly in flour, then dip into egg whites, and then coat with coconut. Fry in oil, a few at a time for 1 to ½ minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the pineapple preserves with the pina colada mix, and you are ready to serve up these mouth-watering coconut shrimp!
