Method

  1. 1 Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, then make incisions in the belly and pat dry.
  2. 2 Mix the shredded coconut with the breadcrumbs in a ratio of three parts coconut to two parts breadcrumbs.
  3. 3 Mix in some breadcrumbs with the shredded coconut to prevent the coating from burning before the shrimp is cooked.
  4. 4 Roll the dough in flour, dip it in egg, then roll it in the coconut mixture and press gently.
  5. 5 Fry in oil at 165 degrees for 3 minutes; the shredded coconut burns very quickly at high heat.
  6. 6 Blend mint leaves with sour cream, sugar, and lemon juice to make a green dipping sauce.
