Coconut shrimp have a short shopping list, and little to no unique ingredients. So let's get organizing!
To make coconut shrimp, you'll first and foremost need some shrimp. We recommend getting raw, peeled and deveined shrimp, tails on, to shorten the prep process. But if you cannot find peeled shrimp with the tails on, don't worry, in the next slide we'll tell you all about how to peel shrimp. Just don't buy already cooked shrimp — they won't work for this recipe.
For the coating of our coconut shrimp, you'll need regular all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Eggs are going to serve as our binder, or sticky glue to which all the yummy fried coconut is going to attach.
And finally, for our incredible coconut batter, we suggest you get an equal amount of breadcrumbs and unsweetened shredded coconut. You can use Panko breadcrumbs or even sweetened shredded coconut if that's all you have on hand. With sweetened coconut, your coconut shrimp will just taste a bit, well, sweeter.
You'll also need vegetable or canola oil for frying. Sunflower or peanut oil will also do, buy don't use olive oil as it'll burn too fast, and frankly, cost way too much for what you need here.
