Method

Preheat vegetable oil to 180 degrees or gas mark 4 in a heavy frying pan or a small deep fryer.

Combine flour, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Place beaten eggs in a separate shallow bowl. In a third shallow bowl, combine the shredded sweetened coconut and Panko bread crumbs.

Fry the shrimp for 4 to 6 minutes in batches, turning as needed until golden brown.

Bonus Tip

To make your shrimp extra crispy, dip twice in the beaten egg and coconut mixture before deep frying.

Drain oil on paper towels for a few minutes

In the meantime, ribbon your cucumber for garnish. Add soy sauce, seasame seeds and white miso in a small bowl for dipping and enjoy!
