Paula Deens Coconut Shrimp With Orange Marmalade Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine coconut and bread crumbs and season with salt and pepper.
• Place flour, eggs, and bread crumb mixture into 3 separate bowls.
• Dredge the shrimp in flour and shake off excess.
• Next, dip the shrimp thoroughly in the egg and rub against the side of the bowl to lightly remove excess.
• Finally, coat the shrimp thoroughly with the bread crumb mixture.
• Lay out the shrimp so they do not touch on a parchment-lined baking sheet or platter until ready to fry.
• In a large Dutch oven, heat several inches of oil to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Be careful not to overcrowd shrimp in the oil while frying.
• Drain on paper towels.
• For the Dipping Sauce:
• Heat the marmalade in a small saucepan over low heat and thin with rum as desired.

Steps:

• Place flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk egg and water together in a separate bowl. Pour coconut milk in a third bowl. Place coconut flakes in a fourth bowl.
• Hold a shrimp by the tail and coat in flour well, making sure to leave tail clean. Dip in egg coating; return to flour and cover again. Dip in coconut milk; roll in coconut flakes. Place on a sheet of wax paper or a plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until a drop of water crackles when dripped into in the pan. Place shrimp in skillet in batches if needed, with small space between each. Fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate covered with napkins to drain excess oil.
• Combine orange marmalade and horseradish together in a bowl for sauce. Adjust ratio to taste. Serve as a dip with the shrimp.

Steps:

• Mix orange marmalade, honey, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce in a bowl. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until serving time.
