Coconut Prawns with Spicy Orange Tiger Sauce

Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 20 large or jumbo prawns
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 cup shredded dry coconut I used sweetened it suggested unsweetened... I didn't find them too sweet because of it
  • salt and pepper
  • vegetable oil
Sauce
  • 1/4-1/3 cup Orange Marmalade
  • 1-2 TBLS Tiger Sauce or Thai Sweet Chili sauce depending on how spicy you want it
  • 2 tsp lemon juice

Method
 

  1. To make the sauce stir together ingredients and set aside. You could warm it up if desired in the microwave for 30 seconds or on the stove top. I liked it served cold.
  2. Leaving the tail on, shell and devein the shrimp and rinse under cold water.
  3. Pat dry with paper towels and hit with salt and pepper.
  4. Put the flour, egg and coconut in 3 separate bowls.
  5. Heat your vegetable oil to 350 degrees in a deep pot.
  6. Prep all your prawns by first hitting them with flour, then dip in egg and then in coconut.
  7. Fry in oil until golden brown... this will only take a few minutes so stay close!
  8. Place on paper towels to drain.
  9. Serve with Spicy Orange Tiger Sauce.
