Shrimp in Creamy Coconut Sauce

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt.

Step 2

Mix bread crumbs and corn starch together and toss shrimp in the mixture (I do all of this in a gallon-sized ziploc bag).

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter in the oil and fry shrimp over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Note: It's easier to do this in small batches of about 8 shrimp at a time, since they cook so fast.

Drain shrimp on paper towels and set aside. Make sauce recipe below.
