Ingredients

• 1 pound Jumbo Shrimp 21 to 25 count size, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground White Pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup unsweetened Shredded Coconut
• 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
• 1 - 2 quarts Vegetable Oil as needed, for frying
• Bahama Breeze Citrus Mustard Sauce to serve (See box below for this Straight-From-the-Restaurant Recipe)

Instructions

• In a shallow bowl or pan, whisk together flour, paprika, white pepper, Cayenne pepper, salt and sugar.
• Place eggs and water in a second bowl and lightly beat.
• Place coconut and panko in a third shallow dish. Mix well.
• Pour vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or other large pot and place over medium-high heat. Heat until it reaches 350°F.
• Drop 3 or 4 shrimp into the flour mixture. Turn to coat.
• Shake excess flour from the shrimp and dip into the eggs, turning to coat well.
• Allow the excess to drip off.
• Drop the wet shrimp into the coconut-panko mixture. Press coconut lightly to adhere.
• Shake off any excess coconut and place the shrimp on a plate or cooking sheet.
• Repeat until all remaining shrimp are coated.
• When oil has reached 350 degrees, gently place 1/2 of the shrimp in the oil. Fry, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until golden, about 2 1/2 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, spider or tongs, remove the shrimp to a wire cooling rack placed over a baking sheet (to catch the dips) and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Serve immediately, accompanied by the dipping sauce.
