- Combine the flour, cornstarch and Lane’s BBQ Chile Lime Seasoning in a medium sized bowl. Whisk well to combine.
- Combine the eggs and beer in a second bowl. Whisk well to combine.
- Combine the smoked coconut flake and panko in a third bowl. Mix well.
- Dredge your shrimp in the flour/cornstarch mixture, then dip in the egg wash. dredge in the flour mixture once again, then back to the egg wash. Transfer to the coconut/panko and press to coat the shrimp on all sides. Transfer to a sheet pan. Repeat until all shrimp are breaded.
Fill a Finex Dutch oven about half full of vegetable oil and preheat on the side burner. Stabilize the oil temperature at 350ºF (check with an instant read digital thermometer).
- Fry the shrimp, working in batches of about 5-6 shrimp, for about 90 seconds, until golden brown and over 135ºF. Immediately after removing from the oil, transfer to a cooling rack and season with salt.
- Serve the coconut shrimp with the Honey Mango Chile Sauce for dipping.
