Coconut Shrimp with 2-Ingredient Dipping Sauce ### Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, as you prefer)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Oil for frying (coconut oil or vegetable oil)

For the Dipping Sauce

1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

Start by preparing the shrimp. Rinse and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the coating stick better.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour mixed with salt and pepper. In the second dish, add the beaten eggs. In the third dish, place the shredded coconut.
Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want the oil hot but not smoking.
Dip each shrimp into the flour, shaking off the excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat them with the shredded coconut, pressing gently to ensure the coconut adheres well.
Once the oil is ready, carefully place the breaded shrimp into the hot oil in batches. Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
While the shrimp are frying, you can prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the sweet chili sauce and mayonnaise until smooth and combined.
Serve the crispy coconut shrimp warm with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy your delicious tropical treat!
