Instructions

For the Lemon (or Orange) Marmalade Sauce

  1. Add all ingredients to a small bowl
  2. Mix well.
  3. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Can be made a day ahead.

For the Shrimp

  1. Thaw and peel shrimp.
  2. Add flour to one medium bowl.
  3. Whisk eggs and milk together into another medium bowl. Season with pepper.
  4. Mix Coconut, and panko in a 3rd bowl with parsley, salt and pepper.
  5. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper to lay shrimp one once they're coated.
  6. Dredge shrimp in flour and hit a few times against the side of the bowl to shake off excess.
  7. Next dip in egg mixture to thoroughly coat. Let drip for minute to remove excess.
  8. Finally dip into coconut mixture and press down to thoroughly cover shrimp.
  9. Set aside on cookie sheet until ready to fry.
  10. Place a few inches of oil into a heavy bottom pan, cast works great.
  11. Heat to very hot, about 365°F.
  12. Place Shrimp in hot oil, a few at a time so that oil doesn't cool down. Fry about 3-4 minutes until nicely golden brown then flip and repeat on the other side.
  13. Drain on paper towels. If you're doing a large batch, they can be kept warm in a low oven (200°F) for up to 15 minutes.
