Preparation

Step 1

Dipping Sauce:
In a small bowl, stir together duck sauce, ketchup and soy sauce until smooth. Set aside until ready to serve; if refrigerating, return to room temperature before serving.

Coconut Shrimp:
Rince shrimp in cool water and pat dry with paper towel.
In a food processor, combine almonds and 2/3 cup of the coconut. Pulse until finely ground. In a medium-size shallow backing dish, blend together the ground almond-coconut mixture, remaining coconut and flour. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and salt. Set up an ssembly line for coating shrimp.
Dip a few shrimp in the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Transfer egg-dipped shrimp to coconut mixture, gently pressing with hands to help mixture adhere. Place on waxed-paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with all of the shrimp.

Fry shrinmp, a few at a time, 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon allowing excess oil to drip back into pan.
