Instructions

Step 1 Dry shrimp with paper towel, season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Mix coconut and breadcrumbs. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix flour and paprika. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Step 2 Place seasoned shrimp into the flour-paprika mixture and toss until coated. Transfer shrimp, one by one, shaking excess flour, to the egg mixture. Toss until coated. One by one, toss shrimp in the coconut-bread crumb mixture until evenly coated. Place the breaded shrimp on a large plate and allow them to rest while you prepare the sauce and the oil heats up.

Step 3 In a small saucepan, combine ½-cup of water, vinegar, sugar, garlic, ginger, salt, and dried chili flakes. Cook on medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. In a small cup, mix 1 tablespoon of water and cornstarch until dissolved. Whisk the mixture into the sauce and bring to a boil until thick. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 365-375°F. Fry shrimp in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per shrimp. Transfer shrimp to a baking sheet lined with paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce on the side.For a spicier sauce, add 1 tablespoon of dried red chili flakes instead of the 1 ½ teaspoons the recipe calls for.

Additional Tip

For a spicier sauce, add 1 tablespoon of dried red chili flakes instead of the 1 ½ teaspoons the recipe calls for.

Fill Your Picnic Basket with Happy Memories

When the weather’s beautiful, there’s nothing better than a picnic. Whether you’re enjoying fun in the sun with family or friends, you know The Recipe for Happiness Starts with C&H™. So fill your basket with dishes, treats and drinks made with C&H® Sugar. 

Finding the Right Recipes 

From delightful salads to savory entrées to sweet treats, your alfresco dining options are endless. To help you find the best dishes for your picnic, we’ve gathered our top recipes made with C&H® Sugar. So, your outdoor adventure goes off without a hitch. 

Melon Ball Punch 

Before you head out to enjoy the fresh weather, make sure to pack a refreshing beverage. Our recipe for Melon Ball Punch is simply delightful. It starts with watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe fruit balls. Then, you mix in white grape juice, sparkling water and the sweet taste of C&H® Organic Cane Sugar. After one sip, you’ll know why it’s the go-to drink for any picnic. 

Strawberry Salad with Honey-Poppy Seed Dressing

When it comes to picnics, lighter foods are often the better choice. Instead of sandwiches and greasy potato chips, try packing our Strawberry Salad with Honey-Poppy Seed Dressing. You can easily transport it in a mason jar, and its four layers of fruits, nuts, lettuce and chicken will fill you up without weighing you down.

Get Ready for Your Picnic 

Once you’ve finished preparing your food, it’s time to pack your picnic basket. There are a few standard supplies you’ll need like plates, bowls, napkins and a picnic blanket. But there are also a few unique items that will make your day outside one to remember:

Wine Totes 

Whether you’re bringing Melon Ball Punch or a delicious Summertime cocktail made with C&H Sugar® to your picnic, a great way to transport your beverages is in a wine tote. These convenient bags have multiple pouches, so you can pre-mix your drinks in mason jars and have them ready to serve upon arrival. 

Picnic Coolers 

For dishes that are best served cold, like our Strawberry Salad with Honey-Poppy Seed Dressing, nothing is better than a picnic cooler. It’s an unbeatable way to serve your guests something cool and refreshing, even when it’s warm outside. 

Platters & Cheese Boards

If you plan on serving a dish or appetizer for the whole group to share, a serving platter or cheese board is an excellent way to lay out your spread. For recipes such as our Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Chili Sauce, we recommend a picnic-friendly plastic platter.
