  • 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

  3. In a third bowl, combine shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
  5. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, then dip in egg wash, and finally coat in the coconut-panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
  6. Heat oil to 350°F in a deep skillet or Dutch oven.
  7. Fry shrimp in batches (3–4 at a time) for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Remove shrimp and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
  9. Serve immediately with citrus mustard dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened shredded coconut to avoid burning and overpowering sweetness.
  • Press coating firmly to ensure it sticks well during frying.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in small batches.
  • To make ahead, freeze coated shrimp and fry directly from frozen.
