How to Make a Shrimp Bowl Recipe with Coconut Shrimp and Ginger Rice

STEP ONE: Prepare the Breading Station

Combine flour, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl. Set up a breading station with three dishes: flour mixture, beaten eggs, and a mix of shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.

STEP TWO: Bread the Shrimp

Hold each shrimp by the tail, dredge in flour mixture, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with the coconut-panko mixture. Refrigerate the coated shrimp for about 15 minutes.

STEP THREE: Cook the Shrimp

Preheat the deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the shrimp until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

STEP FOUR: Prepare the Rice and Broccoli

Cook the Vigo Coconut Ginger Rice according to package instructions. Steam the broccoli until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.

Expert Tips for Success

👩‍🍳Jami's Pro Tips: Want to take this recipe to the next level? Check out my expert tips below for the best flavor, texture, and meal prep hacks!

✔️ DO Pat shrimp dry before breading to help the coating adhere better.
✔️ DO Refrigerate the breaded shrimp before frying to prevent the coating from falling off.
❌ DO NOT Overcrowd the fryer. Keep the oil between 325-350°F for even frying.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Reheat the shrimp in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to retain crispiness.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen shrimp for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen shrimp. Make sure to thaw them completely and pat them dry before breading to ensure the coating adheres properly.

What type of rice works best for shrimp bowls?

Shrimp bowls typically contain jasmine rice, ginger rice, cilantro lime rice, or sushi rice.

What can I use as a dipping sauce besides sweet chili sauce?

If you want to try a different dipping sauce, consider using spicy mayo, teriyaki sauce, or lime cilantro dressing.

Equipment

  • Deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot
  • Mixing bowls
  • Steamer basket
  • Baking sheet
  • Slotted spoon

Ingredients
  

Coconut Shrimp

  • 1 pound extra-large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • peanut oil for frying

Shrimp Bowl

  • 1 (8 ounce) package Vigo Coconut Ginger Rice prepared
  • 2 cups broccoli florets steamed

For Serving

  • Sweet chili sauce
  • green onions sliced thinly, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, and salt. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with the flour mixture, another with beaten eggs, and a third with a mixture of shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
  • Hold each shrimp by the tail, dredge it in the flour mixture, dip it in the beaten eggs, and coat it thoroughly with the coconut-panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Place the coated shrimp on a baking sheet in a single layer and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set the coating.
  • Preheat the deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Carefully lower the coated shrimp into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer basket. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, until the shrimp is golden brown and the coating is crispy.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Follow the package instructions to cook the Vigo Coconut Ginger Rice. This typically involves combining the rice with water and a small amount of oil, then simmering until the rice is tender and infused with coconut and ginger.
  • While the shrimp and rice are cooking, steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
  • In each serving bowl, place a generous scoop of coconut ginger rice. Add a portion of steamed broccoli on one side. Arrange the crispy coconut shrimp on top of the rice and broccoli.
  • Serve with sweet chili sauce on the side and garnish with sliced green onions.
