How to Make Nif's Coconut Shrimp

  1. Pour approximately 2 inches of oil into a large, deep pot.
  2. Heat the oil to 325°F (160°C) using a thermometer.
  3. While the oil heats, prepare the shrimp. Peel and devein 1 pound of shrimp.
  4. In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. Crack 2 large eggs into a separate wide, shallow bowl and whisk lightly.
  6. In another wide, shallow dish, combine 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1 teaspoon allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  8. Gently shake off any excess flour.
  9. Dip the floured shrimp into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
  10. Carefully coat each shrimp in the panko-coconut mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  11. Do not shake off the panko-coconut mixture.
  12. Carefully place 5-6 shrimp into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Remove the cooked shrimp and place them on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  14. Repeat steps 12 and 13 until all shrimp are cooked.
