Creating the Perfect Batter

To start, gather some extra-large, peeled, and deveined raw shrimps. Sprinkle them with a pinch of salt and black pepper, setting them aside to infuse with flavor.

Next, prepare the batter that will give your shrimp a delightful crunch. In a bowl, mix 1 cup of tempura mix with 2 tablespoons of corn starch. Slowly add water to the mixture until you achieve a thick consistency perfect for frying.

A Symphony of Flavors: The Creamy Coconut Sauce

Now, it’s time to create the star of the show – the creamy coconut sauce. In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of coconut cream, 1/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Adjust the sauce’s thickness by adding starch water, ensuring it reaches the desired consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash of water to thin it out. Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or saltiness according to your preferences. For some extra sweetness, you can add an additional tablespoon of sugar.

Frying Up Perfection

If you don’t have tempura mix on hand, don’t worry! You can achieve equally delicious results using corn starch with an egg. Pour the batter over the shrimp, and let it float on top. This signifies that they are ready to be fried to crispy perfection.

Deep frying the shrimp twice is highly recommended to achieve that mouthwatering texture. Once the shrimps float to the top, they are done and ready to be plated.

Bringing It All Together

In a pan, mix the fried shrimp with the creamy coconut sauce. Be careful not to drown the shrimp in the sauce – a little goes a long way. Stir everything together quickly over high heat for about 30 seconds to ensure the flavors blend harmoniously.

And just like that, your Creamy Coconut Shrimp is ready to be enjoyed! Close your eyes, take a bite, and let the intoxicating aroma of coconut transport you to an exotic culinary paradise. The divine combination of coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla will leave your taste buds in awe, making you feel like you’ve discovered a whole new world of flavors.
