Knockout Coconut Shrimp With Spicy Mango Sauce Food

COCONUT SHRIMP AND MANGO DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the mango dipping sauce: Add the mango, BBQ sauce, honey, lime juice and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
• For the shrimp: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the cornstarch, flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Beat the eggs and 1/2 cup water in a second bowl. In a third bowl, combine the coconut flakes and breadcrumbs.
• Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg wash and finally in the coconut breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating.
• Fry the shrimp in the oil in batches of 8 to 12 until golden and crispy, approximately 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Arrange on a platter and serve immediately alongside the dipping sauce. Garnish with lime wedges.

Steps:

• For the spicy mango sauce: Combine the mango, chili paste, cilantro, salt and lime juice in a bowl. Set aside.
• For the coconut shrimp: Add about 4 inches canola oil to a medium Dutch oven or large high-sided skillet. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil registers 325 degrees F.
• Set up a breading station using 2 shallow bowls or pie pans. In one bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut flakes, sugar and some salt and pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the cream of coconut, hot sauce, eggs and 3 tablespoons warm water.
• One at a time, dip the shrimp into the egg mixture, then dredge in the dry mixture, making sure the shrimp are thoroughly coated. Transfer to a baking sheet.
• Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 5 minutes, making sure to turn them occasionally. Remove to a plate or baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Serve immediately or hold for up to 10 minutes in the oven at 200 degrees F.
• Serve the shrimp with the spicy mango sauce on the side.

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH THE BEST DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse shrimp in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Set up 3 shallow bowls. In the first, stir together 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In the second, add eggs and lightly beat with a fork. In the third, combine 1 1/2 cups coconut flakes and 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs.
• Dredge shrimp in flour, dip in beaten egg and then finally dip in coconut crumb mixture using your hands to press the mixture onto the shrimp. Transfer to a Reynolds® Parchment Paper lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining shrimp. Once all of the shrimp are breaded, saute right away.
• Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to generously cover the bottom. Once oil is hot, add shrimp and saute 2 to 3 minutes, flip and saute another 2 minutes until golden brown on both sides and shrimp is firm and pink. Cook in batches and don't overcrowd the pan.
• Stir together the sweet chili sauce and apricot preserves and serve with coconut shrimp.
