PANKO JAPANESE CRUMBS
Panko are Japanese bread crumbs. The are white, dry crumbs with an irregular shape and are coarser than regular bread crumbs. The make an excellent coating for frying as they absorb less oil and stay crisp longer then regular bread crumbs.
When I lived in Key West, Florida, a favorite restaurant dish was deep fried Coconut Shrimp.
The trick for beautifully golden brown coconut shrimp, is to first 'bread' butterflied jumbo shrimp with (unsweetened) shredded coconut, pressing the shrimp firmly.
Then bread the shrimp a second time with panko crumbs, pressing the shrimp firmly in the panko.
Fry immediately.
The outer layer of panko crumbs produces a crispy, beautifully golden brown fried shrimp.
