Directions
Coconut Shrimp With a Kick – Baked or Fried, The yummy coconut shrimp you love with a touch of cayenne to liven things up! The tropical goodness of the coconut really adds a nice touch here. I have found these in Southern tropical parts of the USA but they are indicative of any tropical local such as parts of Asia, Hawaii, the Caribbean and so on. Two sets of directions allow you choose whether to bake or fry., These were good but I’ve prepared it both ways, baked and fried, and hands down the ones fried were better. I couldn’t get the crunch while keeping the shrimp moist/tender with the baked it seems you compromise one for the other. One idea is to toast the coconut first and then bake them for less., Amazing! We managed to get our oil too hot and burn the first two so we switched oil, cooled the pan, and improvised. We fried until almost done then out of the oil, onto a cookie sheet, and into the oven for a bit. They still had that fried taste without the greasy texture. Very fabulous, thanks!!
