Best Coconut Shrimp With Chutney Recipes

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH RED CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 3 inches of oil in a large deep skillet or heavy pot to 325 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch, egg whites, salt, and pepper until foamy. Spread the coconut out in a pie dish. Dredge the shrimp with the cornstarch/egg white mixture and shake off any excess. Press the shrimp into the coconut flakes; turn shrimp over and press into coconut again to coat both sides.
• Deep-fry the shrimp in batches until the coconut is golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp to paper towels to drain. Arrange the shrimp on a platter, serve immediately with red curry sauce and garnish with green onion and mint.
• Place a small pot over medium heat and coat with the oil. Stir the red curry paste into the pan and fry that up until aromatic. Slowly pour in the coconut milk and continue to stir to incorporate. Add the lime juice (and 1 of the squeezed out halves for added flavor) and cook for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken. Pour the sauce into a nice serving bowl and serve with the coconut shrimp.

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Thaw shrimp, if frozen. Rinse shrimp; pat dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan; set aside.
• In a shallow bowl, combine coconut, bread crumbs, and curry powder. Place egg whites in a small shallow bowl. Dip shrimp into the egg whites and then into the coconut mixture, pressing the coconut mixture firmly onto the shrimp. Place on prepared baking pan. Coat shrimp with cooking spray. Bake about 10 minutes or until shrimp are opaque.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine chutney, orange juice, and ginger. Serve with shrimp.
• Test Kitchen Tip: To toast coconut, nuts, or seeds: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread coconut, nuts, or seeds in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until golden, stirring once or twice. Cool on wire rack.

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH MANGO HORSERADISH

Steps:

• For the breading: In a small bowl, blend the coconut and panko and hold at room temperature until breading.
• For the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the mangos with 1/4 cup cold water and the sugar until the mangos have started to break down, stirring throughout. This should take 10 to 12 minutes. Next, add the Sriracha and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and puree in a food processor or blender. Then add the horseradish. Serve or hold.
• For the beer batter: In a medium mixing bowl, blend the lager, flour, baking powder, Cajun spice and egg yolk with a whisk; the batter should be thick like pancake batter consistency. If additional flour or liquid is needed, add and whisk again and hold cold until breading.
• For the shrimp: Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 325 degrees F. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Lightly coat the shrimp, excluding the tails, with the seasoned flour, then dip in the beer batter. Evenly coat with the coconut breading, and repeat the process until all the shrimp have been dressed.
• Carefully place the shrimp in the fryer and cook until golden brown. Repeat the process until all the shrimp have been cooked. Serve with the mango sauce.
