Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse and pat dry 1 lb large shrimp, then coat each shrimp first in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Step 2: Dip the floured shrimp into 2 beaten large eggs, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Step 3: Press each shrimp into 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, covering thoroughly, and set aside on a plate.
  4. Step 4: Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  5. Step 5: Add the coconut-coated shrimp in batches, frying each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  6. Step 6: For the mango sauce, combine 1 cup diced ripe mango, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, 1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a blender and puree until smooth.
  7. Step 7: Serve the shrimp hot alongside the spiced mango sauce for dipping.
