COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches oil over medium high heat. A cube of bread should brown in a 10 count when oil is ready.
• Season bread crumbs with salt, cayenne pepper and five-spice powder. Cut the lime into wedges and reserve.
• Toss coconut with seasoned bread crumbs to combine. Lightly beat the egg whites. Dip shrimp in the egg whites, then coat with the coconut breading. Fry shrimp 5 minutes in hot oil until evenly golden and crispy. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.
• TIMING: To serve all of the courses together, a mix-n-match, family-style presentation, you can bread the shrimp and wait to heat oil and fry when you are ready to put the chicken stir-fry in the pan. Or, for separate courses, serve the shrimp with the salad, have your rice cooking and your ingredients prepped for the stir-fry, then stir-fry the chicken only when guests are ready for it.

Steps:

• Make the dip: In a small bowl, combine marmalade, mustard, Sriracha (if using), lime juice and salt. Stir until fully incorporated. If it's too thick, add a touch more lime juice.
• Make the shrimp: Place the cornstarch, lime zest, salt and cayenne (if using) in a shallow bowl. Whisk the egg whites in another bowl until frothy. Toss the coconut and panko in another shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Working with one shrimp at a time, holding it by its tail, coat the shrimp (but not the tail) in the cornstarch mixture then shake off excess. Dip in the egg whites, then shake off excess. Dredge in coconut-panko mixture, pressing to coat. Set aside on a large plate. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet in a thin layer. Heat over medium until oil shimmers. (A pinch of the coconut-panko mixture added to the oil should sizzle and brown easily. If the oil isn't hot enough, the shrimp will stick to the pan.) Working in batches if necessary, add shrimp in a single, even layer (do not crowd the pan), and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary if the shrimp is browning too quickly.
• Using tongs, grab the shrimp by the tail (so as not to disturb the crust) and flip over. Cook until golden brown underneath, about 2 minutes more. Remove the shrimp by the tail from the pan to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the rest of the shrimp, adding additional oil as needed.
• Serve immediately with dip.
