Creating delicious Chinese Coconut Shrimp is straightforward. Follow these easy steps:

1. Prep the Shrimp: Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Set Up Breading Stations: Place the flour in one bowl, whisk the eggs in a second bowl, and mix the shredded coconut, panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
3. Coat the Shrimp: Dip each shrimp into the flour, coating it lightly. Shake off any excess flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
4. Final Coating: Press the shrimp into the coconut-panko mixture, ensuring it has an even coating on both sides.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan, heat about ½ inch of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. Fry the Shrimp: Carefully place a few coated shrimp into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked shrimp onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
8. Repeat: Continue this process until all shrimp are fried.
9. Serve: Arrange the shrimp on a serving platter with lime wedges and your choice of dipping sauce.
