Coconut Shrimp

Serves 8
Lightly fried shrimp is served with a spicy-sweet dipping sauce for a fun and easy party appetizer.

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE SAUCE

  • 2 teaspoons Scotch bonnet pepper (any color), seeded and minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon dark rum
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

FOR THE SHRIMP

  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS

  1. For the sauce, combine the Scotch bonnet pepper, lime juice, honey, rum, salt, and oil in a serving bowl. Set aside.
  2. Rinse the shrimp in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, beat together the egg whites, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Spread the coconut out on a plate. Coat each shrimp with the egg white mixture and roll in coconut.
  3. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large skillet over high heat until it is very hot. Add half of the shrimp to the oil in a single layer. Fry until golden brown, for 1 1/2 minutes. Turn each one over and cook 2 more minutes. Remove to drain on paper towels. Using the remaining 1/4 cup of oil, repeat the process until all of the shrimp is cooked. Serve the shrimp immediately with the dipping sauce.
