Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound large shrimp (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined, tails left on
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup panko bread crumbs
8 tablespoons light olive oil, or any high-heat cooking oil
Reynolds® Parchment Paper
¼ cup sweet chili sauce
¼ cup apricot preserves or apricot fruit spread

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.
