- Stir in 1 cup jasmine rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
- In a shallow dish, place 1 cup all-purpose flour. In another shallow dish, mix together 2 beaten eggs. In a third shallow dish, combine 1 cup shredded coconut and 1 cup panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each shrimp in the flour, then the egg, and finally coat with the coconut breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated shrimp in batches and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
