Skewered Coconut Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl combine cornstarch, salt, pepper, and cayenne. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. In another bowl, place the coconut. Coat the shrimp with the cornstarch and shake off any excess. Dip into the egg white and then press into the coconut to get full coverage. Try to keep 1 hand dry, this will keep things a little cleaner.
• In a large pan, heat the oil to 350 degrees F and gently submerge the shrimp, 6 at a time. Fry for about 3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove them to a rack to drain. Serve with Peanut Sauce.
• In a food processor, puree the chicken stock, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, hot sauce, chopped garlic, and ginger. Add the peanut butter and pulse to combine. Fold in the cilantro and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
• Bring sauce to room temperature and serve with coconut shrimp.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, combine egg, 1/2 cup flour, beer and baking powder. Place 1/4 cup flour and coconut in two separate bowls.
• Hold shrimp by tail, and dredge in flour, shaking off excess flour. Dip in egg/beer batter; allow excess to drip off. Roll shrimp in coconut, and place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a deep-fryer.
• Fry shrimp in batches: cook, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Using tongs, remove shrimp to paper towels to drain. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine ginger, garlic, lime zest and juice, and coconut milk.
• Add shrimp, tossing to coat, and chill, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Meanwhile, prepare your wooden skewers by soaking in water. For finger food/party portions, you'll want 24 6" skewers. Use about 12 long skewers if you're serving on dinner plates.
• Prepare a grill for high heat (450° to 550°; you can hold your hand 5 inches above cooking grate only 2 to 4 seconds).
• Spear 2 or 3 shrimp onto each 6" skewer in a "C" shape (through each end); cook, turning once, until flesh has just turned pink and is slightly charred, about 3 minutes on each side.
• Arrange skewers on a serving platter and sprinkle evenly with salt, a squeeze of lime juice, and coconut. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oil in the fryer to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a deep plate or shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic salt and cayenne. Season with pepper. Place the eggs in another bowl and the coconut in a third.
• Thread 1 shrimp on each skewer.
• Dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture and shake to remove any excess. Dip in the beaten eggs then roll in the coconut, pressing firmly.
• Fry half the shrimp at a time until golden brown, about 1 minute. Drain on the paper towels.
• Serve immediately. For fun, you can have the skewers sticking out of something, like a pineapple or watermelon.

Steps:

• Fill a baking dish with water and place ten 12-inch-long wooden skewers in it to soak for 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl, add the muscadine wine, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, garlic, honey and paprika. Whisk to combine. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce for serving.
• Thread the shrimp and sausage onto the skewers, alternating between the two and leaving a 2-inch space at the blunt end of each skewer for a handle. Using a pastry brush, coat each skewer in some of the remaining muscadine sauce. Be sure to brush all sides.
• Heat a grill over medium-high heat; oil the grill grates.
• Place the skewers on the grill and cook until the shrimp are opaque with some nice crispy caramelization, brushing with more sauce as they flip and cook, 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved sauce and serve!

Steps:

• Remove meat from pineapple by running a knife along the skin to peel it, quartering the fruit lengthwise and then cutting close to the core of each piece to remove the flesh. Cut the meat into one-inch cubes.
• In small bowl whisk together curry paste and coconut milk. Set aside.
• Thread one shrimp and one pineapple chunk on to each skewer. Baste with curry sauce. Cook about 4-5 minutes per side until shrimp is opaque. Turn frequently and continue to brush with sauce.

Steps:

• Place coconut milk in a skillet and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes until reduced by a quarter - it should be the consistency of heavy cream. Stir in the green curry paste, ginger, lime leaves, fish sauce and sugar. Cook another 5 to 6 minutes or until sauce is thickened and fragrant.
• Stir in 1 tbsp each of mint and coriander and all of lime juice. Cool.
• Divide sauce in half in 2 bowls. Season shrimp with salt and stir into half of sauce.
• Marinate shrimp in sauce for 30 minutes. Reserve other half of sauce for dipping sauce.
• Remove shrimps from marinade and discard marinade.
• Preheat grill on high and grill shrimps about 1½ minutes per side or until pink and slightly curled. Cool. Stir in coconut and remaining mint and coriander to dipping sauce. Serve with shrimps.
• Place shrimps on bamboo skewers, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Rinse and dry shrimp with paper towels. Mix cornstarch, salt, and cayenne pepper in a shallow bow; pour coconut flakes in a separate shallow bowl. Working with one shrimp at a time, dredge it in the cornstarch mixture, then dip it in the egg white, and roll it in the coconut, making sure to coat the shrimp well. Place on the prepared baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Bake the shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center and the coconut is browned, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through.
