How to Cook Lobster, Crab, And Shrimp - How to bread coconut shrimp

All right we are back to show you how to bread and get our coconut shrimp ready so the breading procedure is what we are fixing to show you here. I've got some all purpose flour in my first station which I showed you in a previous video and I've got some coconut milk and I drizzled some Cocoa Lopez which is a syrup cream of coconut in there to amplify that coconut flavor and last but not least we've got our coconut flakes and I sprinkled in some Tanko bread crumbs in there so it's a combination of the two. So we are going to go ahead and dip these guys in the flour and again this is just a butterfly shrimp and I left the tail on these. You can, it's up to you as far as that goes. I am going to use this to my advantage as far as the presentation goes and I will show you in a minute why. So we doing this flour first so that all the other things have something to bind to. So we've got this nice gummy syrupy mix that we would usually just use a milk and an egg wash but since we are making coconut shrimp we are going to use coconut milk. Instead of eggs, we are going to use cream of coconut which is a Coco Lopez product. Let that residual drip off and we are going to go straight into our final breading here. I'm going to need kind of press this onto the shrimp so that it will stay the way it needs to. I'm wearing these Latex gloves which I like to use because they can keep everything from sticking to your fingers and everything falls off nicely. I can fry these now by just dipping the tail if I like or I can skewer these so I am going to go ahead and skewer these. I am going to go from the underneath side of the tail here and just run the skewer to the length of the shrimp till we hit the end there. This way you can fry them without having to touch them and knock off the pretty breading that we just prepared. So you will just leave the sticks sticking out and we will come back here in just a little bit and show you how to fry these up. They won't take long. We will go ahead and bread the rest of the shrimp and come back and we'll see you.
