Ingredients

4 cups canola oil
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 lb peeled/deveined jumbo shrimp, tails on
2 large eggs (or 1/2 cup egg substitute), beaten
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
3 tablespoons orange marmalade

Steps

  1. Heat oil in Dutch oven on medium-high until 375°F. Combine bread crumbs, coconut, and salt in shallow dish. Dip each shrimp into eggs (allow excess to drip off), then bread with crumb mixture.
  2. Add shrimp in batches to oil; cook 1–1 1/2 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towels; cook remaining shrimp. Combine remaining ingredients for sauce.
