Macadamia Crusted Prawns With Coconut Chutney Recipes

MACADAMIA COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Stir the marmalade, mustard and hot sauce together. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the shrimp: Combine the flour, paprika, Cajun seasoning, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl. Place the egg whites in another shallow bowl and whisk until frothy. Combine the panko, coconut and ground macadamias in a third shallow bowl.
• Fill a wide, shallow pot with about 1 inch of oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil registers 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Meanwhile, toss the shrimp in the seasoned flour to coat. Working with a few shrimp at a time, shake off the excess flour and dip in the egg whites to coat.
• Let the excess egg white drip off, then toss in the coconut mixture, pressing with your fingertips to get as much coating to adhere as possible.
• Add half of the shrimp to the oil and fry until golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side; transfer to the lined plate to drain. Return the oil to 350 degrees F and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Arrange the shrimp and dipping sauce on a serving platter and serve warm.
