1
Prepare the shrimp

Rinse the peeled and deveined shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper.

2
Set up the breading station

In three separate shallow dishes, place the all-purpose flour, beaten eggs mixed with coconut milk, and shredded coconut.

3
Bread the shrimp

Dip each shrimp into the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally coat with the shredded coconut. Place the breaded shrimp on a baking sheet.

4
Heat the oil

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

5
Fry the shrimp

Working in batches, carefully add the breaded shrimp to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
