It's What's For Dinner: Creamy Coconut Shrimp

Do you have those amazing Chinese buffets near your house?  We have had many family dinners at the one by my sisters.  My husband loves the Peanut Butter Chicken and the Creamy Coconut Shrimp.  I have been trying to come up with the shrimp recipe for a while now an I think I finally nailed it.



Creamy Coconut Shrimp
2 lbs of peeled and deveined shrimp
1/2 cup corn starch
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour
1 tbsp seasoning salt
1 cup cream of coconut
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Vegetable oil for frying
Dredge the shrimp in the corn starch, shake off the excess, then dredge in the beaten egg.  Next, dredge in the flour with the seasoning salt mixed in.  Fry shrimp until fully cooked and drain on paper towels.  In a large skillet, melt the cream of coconut over medium high heat.  After it's melted down, add in the mayonnaise and cook until it starts to thicken.  Turn off the heat and add the shrimp back in and coat with the sauce.
