- 2 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 4 Chopped strips of bacon I prefer maple bacon...I used a food processor to get bacon to small pieces
Instructions
- Pick a shrimp up and take a knife and cut down the back of shrimp. Don’t cut through the other side of the shrimp.
- Grab your already cooked and shredded bacon, with your hand gently place the bacon in the back of the shrimp. Don’t place too much bacon in the back because it will fall out when you fry shrimp. Sit the stuffed bacon shrimp to the side.
- In a bowl add in coconut flakes, bread crumbs(optional), salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Scramble raw eggs in another bowl.
- Place flour in another bowl.
- Place shrimp in flour then the eggs and lastly the shredded coconut mixture. Gently press the breading down into the shrimp. Set shrimp aside on a plate.
- Turn grease on stove and wait for it to get hot. You can test grease by flicking water in the oil. If it pops then its ready or or by testing heat with a thermometer(350F).
- Cook shrimp on both sides for about 3 minutes or until shrimp is golden brown on both sides.
