Outback Steakhouse Copycat Coconut Shrimp

Our copycat recipe for Outback Steakhouse Coconut Shrimp is better than what you’ll get in the restaurant. We love the crunchy coating on the outside and juicy tasty shrimp on the inside.

The delicious taste of coconut adds just the perfect amount of sweetness. Some of our family members are not big coconut fans, but they didn’t seem to mind with this coconut shrimp.

We haven’t even mentioned the amazing orange marmalade dipping sauce. Oh my goodness. It’s out of this world delicious.

We did more than just lightly dip our shrimp, we totally dunked them into the sweet and tangy sauce.

Our most popular Shrimp recipe: The BEST Shrimp Scampi

how to get the best coconut shrimp

We don’t like to fry a lot of our food. This coconut shrimp is fried for less than a minute until the coconut turns golden.

After it’s done frying, you bake it for the best coconut shrimp. Be sure you oil reaches the temperature of 325 F before placing the shrimp in the oil.

Be sure to use sweetened shredded coconut in the recipe. It adds the extra sweetness that you will want with your shrimp.

Don’t try to fry all of the shrimp at once. Do a few at a time so you can keep an eye on them.

Place them on a paper towel to catch any extra oil drippings, and fry a few more. You can bake them all together after they have all turned a golden color in the oil.

You can easily make the Orange Marmalade Dipping Sauce ahead of time of while the shrimp is baking.
