- Butterfly the shrimp by slicing down the back of the shrimp with a knife but not going all the way through.
Set up the breading station in separate bowls. 1. Flour and Big Kahuna mixture. 2. Beaten eggs. 3. Coconut and panko mixture.
- Bread the shrimp. While holding onto the tail, dredge the shrimp in the flour until well coated and then shake off the excess.
- Dunk the shrimp in the egg and coat well.
- Then bread the shrimp in the panko/coconut mixture. Press the breading into the shrimp gently to help it stick.
- Preheat fryer to 350 degrees.
- Fry the shrimp for 5-6 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Place the cooked shrimp on a paper towel lined tray to allow the excess oil to drip off.
- Heat the pineapple sriracha and butter together and stir while the butter melts. Once hot and fully incorporated, pour into a dipping dish.
- Serve the shrimp with the Pineapple Sriracha butter as a dipper and with a garnish of chopped cilantro.
