  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  4. Take each shrimp and dip it first in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally, coat it with the coconut and breadcrumb mixture. Press the coating firmly to adhere.

  6. Remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
