2 egg whites
1 tbsp cornstarch
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
12 ( u -15) j mbo shrimp, peeled, deveined, and flattened
2 cups flaked coconut

Directions:

In a large heavy bottom saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-fryer thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you do not have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.)

Fry the shrimp in batches until coconut is golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towel. Serve immediately.
Dress shrimp with lime dressing and garnish with watercress leaves.
