Coconut Shrimp

Last night I decided to make a batch of Coconut Shrimp. As it's my favourite appetizer whenever I eat out I thought I could homemake my favourite app! It's quite a simple recipe;
Combine 1/3 cup of all purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a small bowl. In another bowl crack two eggs, but just for the yoke. In a third bowl combine 1/3 a cup of bread crumbs, and 3/4 cup of flaked coconut.
Cut roughly 15 shrimp down the back but no not cut fully in half. Dip the shrimp in the flour mixture - covering them fully, then dip them in the egg, and then cover the shrimp in the breadcrumb-coconut mixture.
Once all the shrimp are coated fill the bottom of a frying pan with oil - on medium heat wait until it's hot (drop a few bread crumbs in and if they sizzle it's hot enough).
Then in place about 7 or 8 shrimp in the pan and wait about 4 minutes until shrimp are golden brown. make sure to flip them as they start to brown.
Serve hot with Thai sauce!
Coated, ready to be fried!

Fried and ready to be enjoyed!
