ingredients
- 1⁄4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (like Mae Ploy or Thai Sweet Chili Sauce)
- 1 teaspoon chili-garlic hot sauce (Sriracha) (optional)
- 1 lb tail-on shrimp, shelled deveined and tail on (See Step 2)

directions
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce and the chili-garlic hot sauce. Set aside.
- With a paring knife, slice down deep at the middle of the back of the shrimp, but do not cut all the way through. Discard the black vein/tract.
- Set three shallow bowls side by side. Place flour in the first bowl; whisk the egg and coconut milk in the second then combine the panko and coconut flakes in the third.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a saute pan over moderate heat until thermometer registers 350°F.
- As the oil is heating, bread the shrimp by dipping the shrimp on both sides in the flour and shaking excess off. Next dip in the egg/coconut milk mixture and then in the panko/coconut flakes, patting to ensure the coating sticks well.
- Fry the shrimp in small batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Serve with Sweet Chili Mayo for dipping.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
