Method

1

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg white with a pinch of salt.

2

In a shallow dish, combine flour, shredded coconut, sea salt, garlic powder, ginger, and white pepper.

3

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or wok to 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat.

4

Working in batches, dip each shrimp into the egg white, then coat thoroughly in the coconut-flour mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.

5

Carefully place coated shrimp into hot oil and fry for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

6

Transfer cooked shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7

Arrange shrimp on a serving platter, garnish with cilantro if desired, and serve immediately with lime wedges and your choice of dipping sauce.
